A Guide to Mayfair’s Nightlife

From vintage cocktails at 5-star hotels to pie and chips at the local pub, a night out in Mayfair covers all bases. Within this small district, we don’t have to go far to find all manner of options interwoven and bringing everyone together. It truly is a smorgasbord of revellers from all walks of life looking to enjoy a top night out and a chance to relax for a while.

It isn’t only the locals that head out into the Mayfair night either. Partygoers from all over the capital make the pilgrimage to Mount Street, Brook Street and beyond. And thanks to the underground, buses, taxis and Santander Cycles, it is super simple to get here.

This beautifully restored pub has been welcoming the general public through its doors since the 1800s. And during that time, it hasn’t lost a single ounce of charm. The Audley Public House retains the traditional, dark wood interior that is synonymous with British pubs. But thanks to a recent facelift, the bar has introduced a new trendy side to its personality. Contemporary art adorns the ceiling in the main bar and other pieces brighten up the various rooms throughout the upper floors.

It’s a popular place for young professionals and visitors to congregate. And the atmosphere becomes energised after dark—especially on a Friday night. There’s a fantastic range of real ales, lagers, wines and spirits available. And the great thing is that the price tags won’t leave anyone aghast. There’s also a selection of bar snacks and nibbles to help soak up some of the IPA.

The Brooks Mews Wine House opened in 2021 and has quickly established itself as a popular evening destination on the Mayfair nightlife scene. Friends meet up to sample some of the most incredible wines from around the world in a relaxed and classy atmosphere.

There are various nibbles available too. And before we know it, many hours have passed while enjoying a fantastic selection of quality products. It’s easy to see how regulars to this haunt have to be politely reminded that it’s time to drink up at the end of a long evening. But if it still isn’t time to call it a night, then most of the fabulous wines are also available for us to take home and continue the party.

Mr Fogg’s Apothecary offers luxurious surroundings with a slightly quirky feel. The theme is based on the fictitious adventures of Phileas Fogg who travelled the world experiencing various cultures along the way. And there’s an assumption, at this location, that Fogg would have returned to London with potions and remedies in abundance.

The cocktail menu is awash with ideas that may or may not prove to be beneficial to any part of the human anatomy. Their claims are tongue-in-cheek, but frankly who cares when the drinks taste so delicious?

There’s an eclectic selection of early 20th-century paintings and photos throughout the venue with beautiful walnut-panelled walls. It’s low-lit, cosy and has the most wonderfully relaxing effect on everyone that passes through the doors.
