One of my favorite hotel bar in London, very cozy and old fashioned place. Staff are really nice and talkative. I love the jazz, absolutely amazing! The cocktail on the first pic was really good, it’s a must ordered one if you like sweet & creamy 😋

Went here as Scarfes one of 50 best bars in the world, but left quite disappointed. Service is pretentious but not personal: they call you madam and move the chair for you but there is no even small talk to make you feel welcome, even when you seat at the bar on not a busy night bartenders don’t pay much attention to you. The food is mediocre.

What a beautiful cocktail bar. This was the second time I visited Scarfes Bar and it will now be my new favourite place for cocktails. The service is impeccable. The cocktails are top notch. The interior is beautiful, the seating is luxurious and the lighting is spot on. The live band on the night (Damien Flood Trio) was one of the best one I have ever seen, with beautiful renditions of jazz, soul and easy listening classics. Cannot fault the place, no wonder why it is in the Top 50 Bars in the world.

Friendly and polite staff - highly recommended!

Scarfes Bar at the Rosewood Hotel London is a sophisticated gem with a cozy library setting, live jazz, and expertly crafted cocktails. The vibe is a perfect 10/10, offering an intimate yet vibrant atmosphere that’s hard to beat. However, the food was only average—good, but not on par with the high expectations set by the rest of the experience. A fantastic spot for drinks and ambiance, but the dining could use an upgrade.
