The Bar at 15 Stamford

Housed within historical landmarks Capitol Building and Stamford House, the hotel’s cocktail lounge offers a soothing escape from the chaotic streets. Beverage Manager Kavish Hurrydoss and Head Bartender Máté Csizmadia both bring their global perspectives and experience to the inventive cocktail list, which eschews overcomplicated techniques in favour of straightforward, flavour-driven libations. The sparkling Beets by Dre, a twist on the classic paloma, is given an intriguing layer of earthiness from the root vegetable. If you’re inclined to wander off the menu, the bar is more than capable of tailoring a drink to your tastes.
