About Green Bar
Green Bar is an absinthe-focused cocktail bar in London, set inside Hotel Café Royal at 10 Air St. Absinthe cocktails sit at the center of the drinks menu, and mocktails cover guests who want a non-alcoholic option. The bartenders and the head of the bar talk guests through the selections and make cocktails to their tastes. On the food side, the lobster roll comes with poached lobster, brioche, mayonnaise, lettuce and chives, and bar snacks include courgette fries and vegetable rolls. The bar suits pre-dinner or pre-theatre drinks.

Customer Review Summary
Cocktails are the draw, with reviewers praising bartenders who build drinks around their tastes and explain their selections in detail. One describes a perfect Café Royal Special, another enjoyed the absinthe, and others name the Hummingbird, a matcha-finished absinthe drink and a pop-up menu of Courvoisier cocktails. Food comes up close behind: courgette fries and vegetable rolls as bar snacks, and a warm lobster roll that one reviewer urges others to try. The room is described as cozy, welcoming, low-key and elegant, quiet on one visit and lively without being overwhelming on another, with music at a level where people can still hear each other. Several say it suits pre-dinner or theatre drinks and celebrations. The recurring caveat is cost, with drinks called pricey and carrying a hefty price tag, though one says the quality justifies it. One diner wanted a broader non-alcoholic list, while another found the mocktails excellent. One bartender also shared cocktail tips for a guest's home bar.

“The Green Bar at Hotel Café Royal is easily one of London's best cocktail destinations. Our bartender Adriano was outstanding - he crafted a perfect Café Royal Special and took time to share valuable cocktail tips for our home bar. His expertise and passion for mixology really enhanced our evening. The sophisticated atmosphere combined with world-class service makes this a standout venue. We'll definitely be back on our next London visit. Highly recommend for anyone seeking exceptional cocktails in an elegant setting!”
