Our Take

London's Most Committed Themed Bar

Mr Fogg's Residence opened in 2014 and has expanded into a small group of themed bars across London. The original on Bruton Lane is committed to the Phileas Fogg conceit: Victorian explorer's drawing room, exotic memorabilia, vintage globes, and a cocktail menu organised as a travel itinerary.

The cocktails are elaborate and theatrical. The drinks are well made — the bartenders take the craft seriously despite the theatre — but the experience is more about the room than the cocktail discipline. The Around the World menu is the right entry point.

The crowd is special-occasion couples, themed-bar enthusiasts, and visiting travellers. Best for one visit. For more disciplined cocktails, Connaught Bar or The American Bar are the better Mayfair options.

What to Order

Around the World

Travel-themed cocktail flight, four small drinks representing different continents. The signature experience.

Phileas Fogg Old Fashioned

Bourbon, smoked sugar, Angostura, orange peel. Theatrically presented under a glass cloche.

Empire Negroni

Plymouth gin, Campari, sweet vermouth, Indian botanical bitters. Stirred classically.

Champagne Cocktail

Champagne, sugar, Angostura. The Victorian classic, well-built.
