Sitting on 30 Portman square is the Hyatt regency-The Churchill; a 5 star luxury hotel is the heart of central London. Inspired by the late Winston Churchill and his wife Clementine, this bar is a memory of the 50's. To the classic art pieces hanging on the wall, the choice of available literature on the tables and bookshelves, this bar just oozes of war heritage.
My experience:
It is 5:01pm and that can only mean one thing, it is the end of the day, and work is finally over! Now it is time to unwind with one of my favourite drink choices- A Strawberry Daiquiri:) On this occasion, I chose to go to the Churchill lounge and Terrace, as I am forever in love with the things of the past and this Lounge bar definitely emphasises this.
If I am drinking, and then I am definitely eating! After many choices, I chose the Oysters (Divine!). The service was efficient, and the waiters gave some good recommendations- One which was a watermelon-based shot! Which you may regret in the morning, especially if have an 8:30am start! But hey, what’s the point of life if you are not living ;) Unfortunately we did not dine in the Terrace, has it was extremely cold and despite the heating, we opted to sit inside. However, if you are a smoker, and immune to cold weather, then dining outside is perfect for you.

Churchills is one of my favorite bars in London to relax in. If you want to spend several hours talking with close friends I'd highly recommend it. There is heating on the terrace along with blankets and heat pads. Tasty complimentary bar snacks of cheese straws and olives are top notch when compared to average bar snack fare.
The cocktail and cigar list are both extensive, while also being expensive. The cocktails here I find to be some of the most well prepared and interesting in all of London. The teapot cocktails are prepared tableside alongside a lengthy history lesson and explanation of the origins / creation process of the cocktail. If you're a drink snob or nerd you'd surely appreciate the attention to detail given to every drink here.
Best cigar lounge and bar in London. Haven't found better service, attention to detail, range of drinks with superlative staff knowledge about both cigars and cocktails anywhere else. Run to make you feel at home, no airs and graces and yet throughly classy. You can smoke in lots of places around London but here you feel totally welcome and the fact that Churchill himself sits at your table in bronze relief puts you in the right mood to 'light up' and down a cocktail. And to make it totally a 'slam dunk' the terrace food is outstanding and always with a seasonal twist. The Prawn Salad is simply superlative.
