Polished hotel cocktail bar with inventive drinks, thoughtful service, and light bites; quality is high but prices and occasional service lapses can sting.
The 40 Elephants delivers polished cocktail-bar excellence with attentive, knowledgeable service and exceptional design appeal that elevate the experience. However, inconsistent cocktail execution and occasional service delays prevent it from reaching grade A territory. For cocktail enthusiasts seeking a refined, history-rich setting with creative drinks and personable staff, it's a worthwhile destination—though premium pricing and variable consistency temper the overall impact.
One caveat: Pricing is premium (cocktails £14-20) and a 13.5% service charge may apply
