We truly loved our cocktails and the fantastic service and atmosphere at the American Bar. Our server, the hostess and everyone we spoke to was amazing and we loved how friendly everyone was. The cocktails were fantastic and I was absolutely thrilled that they could make a gimlet for me as I've tried to find that everywhere! The atmosphere outside as well was stunning and we loved the beautiful flowers and decor in their patio area. We will definitely return!

I went to the American Bar with my son this evening. We arrived around 11:45pm and the waitress indicated that the bar was closing and we had 15 minutes to order. We sat down and she came over a few minutes later and pushed us for an order. The cocktail menu is extensive and there really was not any time to review it properly.She brought our drinks and then returned at 12:15 and said last orders and we quickly ordered another drink.It turned out that the bar closed at 1:00 but at 12:30 she was closing up around us and then turned off the music. We were misled from the beginning.In summation: the bar decoration is awesome; the drinks are okay and over priced; the service was terrible. It was clear that we were not really welcome and they could not wait to get rid of us. Will likely not return and would not recommend if you want to feel like a valued customer. Thebill was £94:00 for an hour and 4 mediocre drinks.

The American Bar at The Stafford is a unique and charming venue that offers a truly memorable drinking experience. From the moment you step inside, you are transported to a world of aviation-themed elegance, with well-crafted interiors that are both stylish and nostalgic. The attention to detail is evident in every corner, with intricate finishes and cleverly designed spaces. The friendly and knowledgeable staff is another highlight of this bar. They are always on hand to offer recommendations and make you feel welcome, no matter what your drink of choice may be. The drinks themselves are expertly crafted and delicious, with a range of classic and contemporary options to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for a classic cocktail or a more adventurous drink, the bar has you covered. However, it's worth noting that the cost of the drinks at The American Bar can be on the higher end. While this is to be expected in a venue of this quality and reputation, it may deter some from making frequent visits. Additionally, the bar can be a little difficult to find, especially for those unfamiliar with the hotel. However, this is perhaps a small price to pay for the pleasant experience offered by The American Bar.

Charged over £20 for a basic cocktail. The outdoor environment was fair but somehow there were so many flies.

Classy hotel with bad impression of Italian attitude from bartender or bar manager with glasses almost pretentious that you are there in Americain bar. After ordering a drink that was beautifully presented half of it was on a tray of a waiter as he spilled it on it while carrying and drops left on a table without even coming back and cleaning it. Lots to improve for the price they asking you to pay. Planty of other good places to go in the area tbh.

Fabulous cocktail bar. Great drinks menu and spectacular looking cocktails. Service was amazing too. We didn’t book but got a seat on a Friday evening. Lovely atmosphere.

Do not recommend. Cocktails are too sweet. Staff once given a negative feedback just don’t seem to care and acknowledge. I love whisky sour but here I got sugar syrup with chunk of ice

Is it overpriced? Yes it is, because you’re in a hotel. Glassware is the only thing that’s beautiful in there. Service it’s inattentive and with planty of Italian ego in here with faces asking without the words why are you even here? I’m not willing to go back. OVERPRICED

Best drinks I've ever had! Must try their expresso martinis and curated cocktail selections. The food is really good too. Friendly staff (:
