Bars & Terraces

The Negroni, a true classic among cocktails, traces its origins back to early 20th-century Italy. Legend has it that Count Camillo Negroni, seeking a bolder alternative to his usual Americano cocktail, requested the addition of gin, thus giving birth to the Negroni as we know it today. With its perfect balance of gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari, the Negroni embodies sophistication and refinement in every sip.

At Boisdale of Belgravia, led by our esteemed Bar Manager, Brian Calleja, we pay homage to this storied libation, offering an extensive selection of Negronis expertly crafted to suit every palate. From the traditional Negroni to innovative twists featuring premium spirits and artisanal ingredients, our Negroni Bar invites you to explore the endless possibilities of this timeless cocktail.

Situated in the style of a traditional pub bar, the Negroni Bar offers a warm and inviting atmosphere. Whether you're looking for lighter bar food or a full à la carte menu, our Negroni Bar has something to satisfy every craving.

Hosting a private event? The Negroni Bar is suitable for intimate lunch or dinner parties for up to 26 guests, or up to 35 guests for drinks parties (more if taken with The Courtyard Garden).

The most eclec­tic of Bois­dale rooms, the Mac­don­ald Bar is dec­o­rat­ed in the style of a gen­tle­man’s club but with the ambi­ence of a clas­sic ​‘40s jazz bar and restau­rant. The Mac­don­ald bar is not gen­er­al­ly avail­able for pri­vate func­tions dur­ing the week but on Sat­ur­day after­noons and Sun­days it is avail­able for up to 60 guests to dine (in con­junc­tion with the Court­yard Gar­den 80) or up to 100 guests for a drinks reception.

The Court­yard Gar­den is plant­ed with scent­ed blooms all year round and offers a per­fect loca­tion for alfres­co din­ing in the sum­mer and, being cen­tral­ly heat­ed, for can­dlelit din­ners in win­ter. It is avail­able for pri­vate lunch and din­ner par­ties and can accom­mo­date up to of 14 guests on one table or 20 guests on two tables. The Court­yard Gar­den pro­vides a degree of pri­va­cy with­out being com­plete­ly cut off from the atmos­phere of the main restau­rant and bar. It is also suit­able for drinks par­ties when hired in con­junc­tion with the Back Bar.

The Cig­ar Ter­race in keep­ing with the restau­ran­t’s tra­di­tion­al and com­fort­able style is locat­ed above The Mac­don­ald Bar, clad in Bois­dale's trade­mark tar­tan and fur­nished with sofas, arm­chairs, cush­ions and rugs. In win­ter months out­door heaters and an awning keep cold and rain at bay and guests vis­it­ing the ter­race are offered warm cash­mere blan­kets in Bois­dale liv­ery brought over espe­cial­ly from Scot­land. The Cig­ar Ter­race can accom­mo­date up to 40 guests.
