Dukes Bar, London

Dukes Bar is an intimate bar that is globally acclaimed for its cocktails, and attracts both locals and visitors to try what many consider to be the best martini in the world. Here you can enjoy one in the very place Ian Fleming is said to have created the classic line, "shaken not stirred". Skilled bartenders demonstrate the rituals of these traditional cocktails at your table, and explain their history. The decor reflects its long history on the sophisticated London scene; navy velvet chairs, a mahogany paneled bar, an original marble fireplace and pale taupe walls hung with portraits and prints create an old-school atmosphere. Come here and you might just feel a bit like the British author, or maybe even that famous spy.
