Dukes Bar
"Shaken, not stirred"- These were the famous words uttered by everyone's favorite super spy, the one and only James Bond, that launched a martini drinking sensation. Legend has it Bond creator Ian Fleming got his inspiration for the infamous line and the spy's drinking habits from this legendary London bar, and could regularly be seen here enjoying a martini or two himself. These days, cocktail aficionados can still enjoy the same table side martini service of Fleming's day, where each drink is painstakingly prepared to perfection. Next time you're in town, head here and order a Fleming Vesper, a reinvention of the classic drink featured in the first Bond book,
Casino Royale, created by head bartender Alessandro Palazzi to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Bond series.
