Mayfair’s the kind of place where money is in overwhelming abundance (for better or worse). Well, the new bar on the scene - Dover Yard - is less about dripping luxury, overt opulence and wasteful splendour, and is focused more on sustainable practices, the warmest of welcomes, and cultivating an ambience where you'd feel comfortable spending hours catching up with your crew. Nestle into one of their armchairs surrounded by a plethora of plant life & you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into one of the fashionable lounges from Town & Country Magazine. 

Located in the new 1 Hotel Mayfair, Dover Yard is a breath of fresh air for anyone looking for a laid-back yet classy neighbourhood watering hole to while away the hours. The menu is divided into Repurposed, Seasonal and Low & No for those watching their units. Repurposed cocktails all have some sort of sustainable element to them, whilst Seasonal drinks make the most of native produce that's in season at the time. In the former category, you’ll find ingredients such as lemon sour mash, coffee grounds and even croissant falernum. When BarChick was cracking through the menu, the Seasonal cocktails included the insane Purple Carrot Garibaldi (made with English carrots) and a Celery Tommy's Margarita.

Our must-try recommendations? The Instagram-worthy Pan Brioche made using leftover croissants (it even comes with a petit pastry perched on the ice cube) and the Strawberry Collins that's summer in a glass. Don’t take our word for it though - ask the staff, ‘cos they’re all madly clued up and will help navigate you through the menu with a smile. Sustainable sipping has never been so chic.
