About this restaurant

  • Great for creative cocktails
  • Romantic
  • Good for special occasions
Plush velvet, supple black upholstery and polished rose gold set the scene for some seriously stylish sips in an ambience redolent of the glamorous 1930's. It was during this time that Manetta's was the favourite hangout for the cognoscenti from the worlds of literature and the arts who mingled with celebrated rakes and aristos. The clientele may have changed a little over time but the atmosphere still lives on, making Manetta’s one of the best cocktail bars in Mayfair.

    We had to wait for a while before we got served, but once we did, it was good. We noticed all the other tables around us being also served bar snacks without being asked. On the way out, I did mention this to one of the bar staff - they were really apologetic for not providing the snacks that they gave us a couple of coffee cups full of nuts.!

    Really loved it, was very quiet when we arrived which meant we got one on one service! Really great cocktails and a lovely wine list, great atmosphere and really nice servers, our party loved the venue and we'll be back very soon. A nice, relaxed, high quality vibe.

    This is one of my favourite cocktail bars in Mayfair, but the first time I have ordered bar food. The food was very good but slightly disappointed with the offerings on the menu and only one dessert which was ice cream.

    We've been to Manetta's bar many times before and have never been disappointed. This time three of us went and again we weren't disappointed. We had a variety of cocktails, two burgers and the smoked fish dish - all very enjoyable. We like the decor, the atmosphere and the friendly attention given by the staff. Alas as with virtually everything these days, the prices are rising, but we still like the overall experience.

    Two of us have been to Manetta's bar several times in the past before this evening visit and we have never been disappointed. We like the decor and the calm atmosphere, together with the knowledgeable and attentive staff. We each had a "towards zero" and a "negroni" cocktail, together with a burger. All were excellent. Note that after 6.30 pm there are no parking restrictions and we parked very close to the hotel. There is no congestion charge after 6 pm.

The bar’s plush velvet seating, polished rose-gold touches and 1930s glamour create an intimate, romantic setting, while guests consistently praise the relaxed, quiet atmosphere and expertly crafted cocktails. It’s ideal for a special evening or celebration; consider booking earlier in the evening for a quieter table and mention any special requests when you reserve.

These hours make it a good spot for afternoon cocktails through late-night drinks on weekends. If you plan a visit on a public holiday or want to arrive outside these times, call ahead to confirm.

Early-to-mid evenings on weekdays are a great time to visit if you want a calm, intimate experience; guests often note the bar can feel very quiet and offer one-on-one service then. If you prefer a livelier scene, later evenings, especially Thu–Sat when the bar stays open later, bring more activity. For birthdays or special requests, consider an early booking and mention arrangements when you reserve.

Manetta’s Bar is styled as an intimate lounge bar with cosy, comfortable seating, guests mention plush chairs and elegant decor that encourage relaxed conversation. The venue also accepts private parties, so you can inquire about reserving a dedicated area for larger groups or celebrations.

Guests consistently describe a relaxed, classy vibe with attentive, friendly staff and excellent cocktails. It’s well suited for intimate drinks, small celebrations and relaxed conversation rather than loud gatherings.

The dress code is Business Casual. Given its Mayfair location and stylish 1930s-inspired interior, guests tend to dress smartly, think neat daytime or evening wear rather than sportswear.

However, Manetta’s is primarily a cocktail lounge focused on drinks and bar snacks rather than a family dining venue, and there’s no menu information indicating a children’s menu. If you’re coming with young children, call ahead to check menu flexibility and appropriate seating.

Weekdays are best if you want a quieter, more intimate experience, guests often praise the calm atmosphere during early-to-mid weekday evenings. If you’re after a later-night scene, Thu–Sat have extended hours and may feel busier and livelier. Choose weekdays for conversation and one-on-one service, weekends for a more energetic evening.

Yes, Manetta’s Bar accepts private parties, so you can arrange semi-private or private bookings for celebrations and group events.
