This winter, the May Fair Bar is proud to present Belvedere + Ice, an exclusive collaboration with Belvedere, the world’s first super-premium vodka, to transform the iconic space into a dark and dramatic winterscape in the heart of Mayfair. Serving a unique selection of bespoke cocktails alongside a refined menu of contemporary pan-Asian cuisine, Belvedere + Ice will offer an exclusive and luxurious escape from the winter chill, from Tuesday 12th November to Tuesday 31st December. The opulent concept will join together these two iconic brands in a 7-week residency that brings to life the icy landscape of the Belvedere bottle, with blue and white accented forestry and frosted detail adorning the May Fair Bar’s chic, cosmopolitan interiors.
Guests can anticipate the ultimate in laid-back luxury, from brunch to bottle service, set against the soundtrack of May Fair Bar’s resident DJ’s playing late into the night.
