Kwant Bar is an acclaimed cocktail destination at 52 Stratton Street in Mayfair, close to Green Park station. It is the creation of Erik Lorincz, the former head bartender of The Savoy’s American Bar, and opened at its present address in 2023. The venue brings the precision of a leading hotel bar into a more intimate and individual setting.
A large central counter places the bartenders and their craft at the centre of the room. Warm colours, abundant greenery and carefully controlled lighting create an elegant atmosphere that remains relaxed rather than formal. Guests can watch drinks being built with close attention to balance, temperature, texture and presentation.
The cocktail programme takes a modern approach to familiar structures while introducing unusual ingredients and combinations. A five course tasting experience offers a guided progression from aperitif style drinks towards richer final serves, while the wider selection accommodates a shorter visit. Rare and vintage spirits add further depth for guests interested in drinking beyond the cocktail list.
Refined bar snacks and small plates provide savoury accompaniments to the drinks, with British, Mediterranean and European influences appearing across the food offering. The selection is designed to support an evening focused on cocktails rather than compete with it. Knowledgeable service helps guests navigate both the drinks and food, whether they arrive for one carefully chosen serve or settle in for the full tasting experience.
