Review

Below ground with dark wood walls, dim lighting and soft leather chairs, this opulent bar near Piccadilly Circus really does feel like an old classic American bar with just the right balance of sophistication and dark corners in which to lose yourself. Indeed, it is a fitting heir to the iconic Atlantic Bar& Grill, which used to occupy the site, though now Bar Américain and the accompanying Brasserie Zedel on the ground floor above, operated by restaurant behemoths Chris Corbin and Jeremy King.
