Polo Bar

Hotel bar with great ambience and solid drinks, great place to bring friends to catch up — quiet, unobtrusive staff, old school décor. Drinks are pricey but you pay for the ambience and good service.

A great place for a nice cocktail, bottle of wine or a drink to end the night before retiring to bed at the Westbury.
I had the G and Tea which was a great cocktail and the service was very friendly and attentive.
Happily come here for a cocktail anytime.

There’s nothing wrong with the polo bar, it’s just not very exciting either. There’s a predominantly male crowd too mostly after work drinkers.

Now I’m not a connoisseur of hotel bars. I think the low end is just, it’s a bar and its in a hotel, sometimes they might even have peanuts or something nicer than miller light. On the upper/​middle upper range of things I think they’re supposed to be dark, a little bit swank; the sort of place where neat suits, lbd’s, and blond Russians might be more easily found. I also think all bars are supposed to have some music, preferably loud enough to note if you’re sitting there alone contemplating the way light cuts through single malt and yet quiet enough to be able to whisper in a ladies ear without anyone having to yell «WHAT???».
So the drinks are fine; the décor, a bit dated and stuff for my tastes but fine; the lack of any discernable music troubling, either because my hearing has gone or because the volume is on 2.
The clientele is heavily male, and the entrance of the hotel reminds me more of an upscale holiday inn than anything else. It’s a fine place to go, but don’t promise your compatriots too much.

For all those worn out from all the luxury purchases they made on Bond Street, the Polo Bar is the perfect place to put your feet up and have a great cocktail blended by one of the mixologists. I think they have made mixing drinks at art form at this great hotel bar. It is frequented by business men, ladies with their weight in shopping bags, and regulars like me. I usually saddle up at the bar and watch the scene from their. In addition to a fantastic selection of drinks, the Polo Bar knows how to make a pretty dam good burger.
