All Bar One Regent Street

Stellar Service and Top-Notch Cocktails

Tucked into the bustling heart of Regent Street, All Bar One not only presents a modern, chic atmosphere but promises an experience that's as effervescent as a freshly shaken martini. I found myself settled into a corner table where the hint of London's iconic hustle and signals from Oxford Street seems to fade away, allowing the soothing yet lively ambiance of the bar to take over. The allure didn’t just stop at the decor—a blend of contemporary furnishings complemented by ambient lighting—but resonated much more in the palpable warmth of the staff. Edward, Aaradhya, Siobhan, and Dana are just a few of the names widely celebrated by patrons for their unparalleled hospitality and genuine affability, something that impresses even before any clinking of glasses begins.

With high spirits and a slight curiosity after reading countless praises about Edward's grace and skill behind the bar, I decided to veer off from my usual and let him surprise me. His suggestion? A French Martini that was blindingly delicious—a nod to his finesse mentioned by brunch-goers and evening visitors alike. The vegetarian options are flavorful and meticulously prepared, ensuring neither plant-based eaters nor traditional palates go wanting. There wasn’t a need for gustatory gymnastics; the robust cappuccinos or innovative cocktails such as the pornstar martinis seem to echo the collective cheers for its refined, yet straightforward elucidation of good taste. It seems All Bar One does not merely tempt you back, it draws you with its consistent excellence personified by what might be its biggest asset—its passionately dedicated team. — Clarissa Cuisinier
