Pine - City of London,Westminster

On my weekly explorations of “new places to have a nice drink” in London continues, I decided to explore the Pine Bar at the Biltmore hotel with some coworkers. The Biltmore hotel is situated on the south side of Grosvenor Square. Well, the whole experience was top notch. From the warm “Good Afternoon” from the hotel “Doorman” I do not like using that term because they do so much more…. to every single interactions with any staff member on property. All were so warm and genuine. We decided to sit at the bar. I love witnessing the actions of the mixologists and always like to stare at a good wall of bottles in hopes of finding a hidden gem. Our Mixologist today was Ryad! What a gem. His smile, and enthusiasm for his job permeates through every interactions with his guests and Coworkers. He and the whole team made us feel welcomed and valued. And that can be a rare thing these days…. Our drinks were made to perfection. Fresh tasty snacks were served. And the price tag was what is expected in such a nice and refine venue. Come for one, feel the vibe, enjoy the cocktails! I will definitely be back. Where will next week take me??

I don 't recommend Pine Bar on the basis of our recent visit. One bald guy welcomed us in a cheap manner saying 'hey there, how are you doing '. We sat at the bar and ordered virgin Pina colada and red wine. Pine colada was not as good as they charged because it was only pineapple juice and ice. But the main disappointing thing is how they do not care about hygiene. The same bald guy wearing a suit was scratching his face and he was eating nuts from the same bowl that they offered us. We saw it many times when he picked the nuts from those bowls again and again, and those same bowls were offering to the other people. I 'm shocked at how they can be very careless about hygiene in this luxurious hotel and bar. I don 't think that we will visit this bar again.

Riyad’s service is wonderful and amazing!! Definitely come back again

Last week Thursday I visited pine bar with a bunch of my friends and it was a very good experience. We ordered an espresso martini, side car, french 75 and some wines which were suggested by Vaibhav. Taste and presentation of those cocktails was excellent. In the end we really felt like we were in one of the best bars in Mayfair, We enjoyed our time in the pine bar and we are looking forward to coming soon.

I had a lovely birthday celebration with nice drinks at the pine bar. Thanks all the staff for making it so special! I recommend it!
