You can forgive the staff for thinking they're as cool as Benny Blanco from the Bronx, as from just about every angle this is a smooth number. So smooth that Humphrey Bogart himself wouldn't be amiss at the bar. The great 'Bogey' would be sure to approve of the devilishly well-delivered Wallbangers, White Russians and Whisky Sours. But the outstanding feature of the American bar is the decor itself. The creation of legendary architect Adolf Loos, the bar was so far ahead of its time that you'd be forgiven for thinking it was 1930's art deco. He designed it in 1908. A medley of mirrors conceals the fact that this is one of the world's smallest bars.
