Zander Bar

I have just come back from the Zander Bar where I had a drink and a quick bite to eat with an old friend from Uni and thought this place was worth a little mention.

The Zander Bar is part of the Bank Restaurant, which itself is part of the 4 star 51 Buckingham Gate Hotel complex. It is renowned for the length of its bar, supposedly the longest one in the UK.. all 36 meters of it. Quite impressive.

This place is generally buzzing with trendy, professional, beautiful people, although tonight was particularly quite. No doubt due to people being concerned about how they would get home after the apocalyptic comments of today's weather forecasters.

Aside from the size of its bar the other worth while fact is that they do exceedingly good cocktails, both with and without alcohol. The food nibbles are also rather tasty. We had the charcuterie plate and the tapas plate which I guess came from the Bank kitchens and therefore were very good, well presented and in the correct proportions.

Staff are friendly, attentive but not intrusive. All in all a very good night out. Perfect place to sit ay the bar with an old mate and catch up on old times.
