The Mezzanine
A world-class cocktail bar tucked away in The Stratford, a beautiful SOM-designed, 42-storey building from the team behind The Chiltern Firehouse and St Pancras Renaissance Hotel. The Mezzanine is The Stratford’s creative and musical hub, with their Open Deck Collective taking place every Thursday, live music every Friday, and DJs every Saturday night to play you into the early hours.
Under the direction of Marcello Cauda, The Mezzanine has been selected in the Regional top 10 Honourees for the 2022 Tails Spirited cocktail awards for Best Hotel Bar – Europe.
World Class Cocktail Bar
The menu features modern techniques applied to familiar classics inspired by the New York cocktail scene between 1930 and 1960. It is both extensive and unique, with four distinctive cocktail sections and a wide selection of whiskies including rare, small batch liquids from Japan, Scotland and America. There is also an extensive selection of premium spirits and Champagnes.
