The Caviar Bar
Mayfair, London
Bar in London, United Kingdom
Why go
The Caviar Bar is worth considering when the plan is specific: caviar, a serious drinks list, a polished Mayfair setting without committing to a full restaurant night. It is less useful for large groups or anyone needing broad menu flexibility, but strong for a focused date, client drink, or early-evening splurge.
About The Caviar Bar
The Caviar Bar is a London venue with a concise set of verified practical details: it is open Monday to Saturday from 12–10 PM and closed on Sunday, with a smart casual dress code. Its confirmed recognition includes Star Wine List in 2026.
Because the available verified information is limited, this guide keeps the recommendation practical rather than filling in unconfirmed details about menu format, pricing, service style, or reservations. Use the venue's official channels for anything that may change, including current availability and the latest offering.
A London stop with verified hours, dress code, wine recognition
The clearest planning facts are direct. The Caviar Bar operates from 12–10 PM Monday through Saturday and is closed on Sunday. The dress code is smart casual, which makes it easier to plan attire without assuming a more formal or more relaxed policy than is verified.
Star Wine List recognition in 2026 is the confirmed trust signal available for the venue. Beyond that, specific claims about the drinks program, menu structure, prices, or the way a visit is paced should be checked directly with the venue before making plans.
How to use it on a second visit
For a return visit, plan around the verified basics rather than assumptions. Choose a Monday-to-Saturday slot within the listed 12–10 PM hours, avoid Sunday, dress smart casual. If your plans depend on a particular menu item, budget, seating arrangement, or service format, confirm those details with the venue first.

The take
The Take
The Vibe
The Caviar Bar lives in Mayfair’s quieter register, tucked into Unit 4 of Medici Courtyard where the approach itself lowers the volume and expectations before you step inside. It reads as a focused, product-forward specialist rather than a theatrical hotel bar: counter-led, restrained and deliberate. The Georgian context of Hanover Square and the recessed courtyard setting give the space a classic, quietly charming tone. Service and programme privilege the drinks list—especially wine—over spectacle, so the mood stays intimate and reserved, well suited to guests who prefer conversation and curation to loud nightlife theatrics.
Best For
This is a venue for measured evenings rather than boisterous nights out. Its location in a formal Mayfair square and the emphasis on a carefully curated wine list make it a strong choice for business dinners, date nights and small special occasions where discretion and quality matter. The counter-led, specialist format favours small parties or couples who want to linger over bottles or by-the-glass selections. Guests looking for a wine-forward, quietly refined outing will find the tone here aligns with professional or celebratory evenings that prize expertise and a low-key atmosphere.
Ordering Tips
Lean on the wine programme: the bar’s 2026 Star Wine List recognition signals a deep, curated selection with strong by-the-glass options and regional curation. Ask the staff about their by-the-glass recommendations and any suggested pairings with the caviar offering; the room’s counter-led, product-forward approach means staff guidance is central to the experience. If you prefer a more focused tasting, opt to linger at the counter where conversation with knowledgeable servers will help you explore producers and styles rather than defaulting to familiar bottles.

Bar context
How It Compares
Choose The Caviar Bar over Esmeralda's Mayfair when the night needs a tighter luxury brief and a more drinks-and-caviar focus. Esmeralda's Mayfair is the more flexible pick for cocktails and late-night dining, especially if the group may want the evening to run longer or shift into a broader food order.
LPM London is the safer choice for a full restaurant rhythm, while The Caviar Bar makes more sense as a focused Mayfair stop before or after another plan. Chisou Sushi and Izakaya gives seafood-minded diners a more conventional Japanese dining route, so pick that when the group wants a fuller meal rather than a caviar-led occasion.
For value and group flexibility, Aline Lebanese Kitchen is likely the easier recommendation, especially for shared dining. sketch is the more theatrical Mayfair-adjacent choice, but The Caviar Bar is the cleaner call when the brief is quieter, narrower, built around drinks credibility rather than a room-led experience.
