Fodor's Expert Review The Blue Bar at the Berkeley

With its Lutyens Blue walls, Edwardian plasterwork, white onyx bar, and black crocodile-print leather floor, this hotel bar oozes sultry sophistication. Immaculate service, an excellent seasonal cocktail list, and an extended glass pavilion make this an ideal spot for a romantic tête-à-tête, complete with a background soundtrack of lounge and deep house music. If you're feeling peckish, there is elevated bar food such as brie grilled cheese sandwiches and Aberdeen Angus sliders.
