The American Bar at The Savoy, reviewed: A triumph of evolution
"We've been so close and today was the day all our hard work paid off. I had no idea we'd win, because I have so much respect for all the bars in the top ten. It all felt very new, very interesting, because this year lots of bars finished in different positions. WATCH
Mr Lyan's British Mule "I love Dandelyan, it's my neighbourhood bar, just across the river from us. We'll try to hold onto the title for next year, we just need to work even harder.

Ryan Chetiyawardanan said the awards were as good for London as for his bar Dandelyan: "To have numbers one and two on the list be London just shows how ahead of the curve what's happening in London is. It's amazing and to be part of that, it's just incredible. The list is spreading to new places and new styles and that's so wonderful to see, it's amazing to see what else can be done with drinks. "The American bar is an institution, it's one of those places that every young bartender is always excited to go to and get a seat at the bar and get a drink. Declan and Erik are exactly the right team to bring it into a new era. "Do I think we can topple them next year? Not at all. I'm really proud of what we do but it's an institution. I would love Dandelyan to be around in 120 years, like them, that would be incredible and we've given it enough room to expand and evolve. I would love to say it'll be there but it's very hard to lay those kind of legacies." It was the fifth year the awards have been held in London. The list decided by a panel of over 500 anonymous drinks specialists across six of the world’s seven continents, and includes bars from all of them.

The World's 50 Best Bars for 2017 Announced: The American Bar at London's Savoy Hotel Wins Top Spot
American Bar in London’s Savoy Hotel took the top honors at the World’s 50 Best Bars 2017. As last year’s No. 2, the bar helmed by head bartender Erik Lorincz dethroned New York City’s The Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog—and rightly so. Dead Rabbit, the famed bar in New York’s Financial District, had been No. 2 in 2014 and 2015 before it finally won the highest distinction last year. But this year the multilevel Irish bar that Sean Muldoon and Jack McGarry opened to much ballyhoo in 2012 dropped four spots—from No. 1 to No. 5.

The Savoy’s American Bar has been officially recognised as the home of the best bar in the world. London’s Art Deco grande dame (http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/united-kingdom/england/london/central/west-end/covent-garden/hotels/the-savoy-hotel/) claimed the coveted Number 1 spot at The World’s 50 Best Bars awards on Thursday at the capital's Southwark Cathedral. "This is a very proud and special moment for us; it's fantastic to know that all the hard work has paid off," Head Barman Erik Lorincz told The Telegraph. "I think we stood out because our latest Coast to Coast menu concept – which travels across Britain and through the ages – is daring and unique, but the cocktails are still approachable. We tightly analysed different categories of drinkers based on their palates and preferences and looked in great detail at what they like and don’t like."

For another year running, cocktail dens in London and New York vied for the top spots. It's the climax of London Cocktail Week, an eight-year-old martini-fueled fiesta that commandeers the capital’s bars each fall, which means the World’s Best Bar awards has announced its annual list of the world's top 100 drinking dens.

The entire list was compiled by a globe-spanning panel of experts, comprised of writers, bartenders, and industry execs: Each nominates seven bars they’ve visited in the past year, three of which must be from a country other than their own, before a final round of voting is cast.

in particular. The tiny city-state snagged several slots for venues like molecular mixology specialist Operation Dagger and highest-ranked new entry, Atlas, which claims its stock of more than 1,000 gins is the largest in the world. The U.S. still made an impressive showing, with more than a dozen bars making the final cut, from Miami’s funky Broken Shaker to New York’s Cuban-themed Black Tail, the winner of Best New Opening. There was particularly loud cheering at the mention of Tommy’s in San Francisco, a family-run Mexican restaurant whose beloved owner Julio Bermejo devised the Tommy’s Margarita in the 1990s. He subbed orange liqueur out for agave syrup, to add freshness and lower the alcohol kick; it’s now a common alternative to the traditional recipe on cocktail menus worldwide.

The World’s 50 Best Bars of 2017 have just been announced, and one could say this year’s list has been both shaken and stirred. This time, the No. 1 spot went to London’s American Bar in the Savoy Hotel, an establishment that took the No. 2 spot in 2016, while last year’s winner, The Dead Rabbit Grocery and Grog in New York City, fell to 5th place. The list, now in its 9th year, is voted on by more than 500 drink experts from around the world, and is meant to be the de�nitive international guide to sipping the best of the best. Owned and organized by William Reed Business Media, the organization is also responsible for each year’s highly anticipated list of the World’s 50 Best Restaurants. http://www.travelandleisure.com/food-drink/worlds-50-best-bars-2017

The World’s Best calls it a “perfect bar” and “one of the most important cocktail destinations open today.” Related: 50 Bars Worth Traveling to Around the World London’s American Bar isn’t the only representative from the U.K. on this year’s list, with London’s Dandelyan, Connaught Bar, and Bar Termini all breaking the top 10.

They include The NoMad at No. 3, Dead Rabbit at No. 5, Attaboy at No. 8, Dante at No, 16, Blacktail at No. 32, Employees Only at No. 37, and Mace at No. 42.

Judges described the 128-year-old bar as “one of the most important cocktail destinations open today” and “at the forefront of the cocktail world” for over a century. Legendary bartenders including Ada Coleman - one of only two women to hold the position and inventor of the Hanky Panky cocktail - and Harry Craddock - one of the most famous bartenders of the 1920s and 1930s - have worked at the watering hole.

Erik Lorincz, Head Bartender added: "This is an incredible achievement for the American Bar and a very proud moment in my seven year career as head bartender here. We are preserving the legacy and worldwide reputation the bar has established in its 128 year history, and it demonstrates that the American Bar continues to be a leader in the industry after so many years". Speaking to The Independent last year, Lorincz said he had to pass an exam to land the job, which involved learning 250 classic cocktails. Asked what message he wanted people to take from the bar, he said: "People can be too worried about what they’re drink looks like, or whether it’s 'girly'. If you are an industry expert and you have a preference, then fine, but if you’re not in the field just know there is a purpose for every ingredient.

The American Bar at The Savoy in London has been named the best bar in Europe at this year’s Mixology Bar Awards in Berlin. The awards, held alongside the Bar Convent Berlin trade show this week, also presented the award for best European mixologist to Rémy Savage (pictured below) for his work at Little Red Door in Paris as he prepares to become head bartender at Artesian at The Langham hotel in London in November. The title of best new European spirit or bar product went to Italicus Rosolio di Bergamotto, the aperitivo launched last year by Giuseppe Gallo. The Europe-wide categories, introduced at the Berlin-based Mixology Bar Awards last year, also included best new European bar which went to Dr Stravinsky in Barcelona, opened by Lito Baldovinos and Enric Rebordosa. The other nalists in this category were three in London – Coupette, Swift and Untitled – plus Antique American Bar in Bratislava in Slovakia. The award for The American Bar at The Savoy, and its team including head bartender Erik Lorincz (pictured), followed its rise to the number-one spot in the World’s 50 Best Bars league table last week. The other nalists for best European bar were Dandelyan at the Mondrian London hotel, Dry Martini in Barcelona, Little Red Door in Paris and Schumann’s in Munich. The rest of the awards, which cover Germany, Switzerland and Austria, saw one bar sweep three categories: One Trick Pony in Freiburg in south-west Germany won both new bar of the year and bar menu of the year and also the title of mixologist of the year for bar manager Jan Jehli. The evening also saw the presentation of the Special Award for Lifetime Achievement to veteran Swiss bartender Peter Roth. The Zurich-based bartender has a career spanning more than 40 years behind di�erent bars, over 30 of which he spent as bar manager at Zurich’s Kronenhalle Bar. Full list of winners

2017’s best bar in the world is right here in the UK
Monthly Unique Browsers: 2, 351, 642 While there are any number of shiny new bars competing for our custom, with sparkly cocktails drawing us in like mixology-loving moths to a basil-infused, candy-floss-topped, smoke-in-your-face, drink-through-a-conch flame (atop a retro enamel camping mug, natch), sometimes we yearn for the classics. Well, 2017’s very best bar in the world has been announced, and it’s a Martini glass of old-school glamour right here in the UK. The American Bar in London hotel The Savoy has topped the ninth annual World’s 50 Best Bars awards, beating locations in New York, Shanghai and Paris with its rich history and precisely executed cocktails. The elegant bar – a mere 128 years old – is world-renowned, having spawned the The Savoy Cocktail Book and hosted any number of big names from the worlds of theatre, film, TV and politics over the decades, as well as legendary bartenders Ada Coleman, Harry Craddock and Peter Dorelli. The Savoy''s American Bar is known for its sumptuous decor, precise cocktails and rich history Synonymous with luxury, the interior is all warm creams and rich woods – but its pleasingly retro Art Deco vibes (enhanced by the house jazz pianists, of course) don’t mean that the menu is immune to innovation, with the new ‘Coast to Coast’ list highlighting ingredients from across Britain, such as cobnuts, sunflower honey and roasted barley syrup.

In case you were after any more reasons to drink this weekend, last night it was announced that the two best bars in the world are right here in London. The American Bar at The Savoy (https://www.timeout.com/london/bars-and-pubs/american-bar-at-the-savoy) was awarded the top prize of World's Best Bar, followed in second place by the South Bank's much-loved Dandelyan (https://www.timeout.com/london/bars-pubs/dandelyan) at last night's World's 50 Best Bar Awards. News comes just weeks after Dandelyan was named World's Best Cocktail Bar at New Orleans' Spirited Awards (https://www.timeout.com/london/blog/its-o�cial-thebest-bar-in-the-world-is-in-london-072417), showing that there's a lot of love out there for London's drinking scene. Further down in the top ten was the Connaught Bar (https://www.timeout.com/london/bars-and-pubs/the-connaught-bar) at number 4, with Bar Termini (https://www.timeout.com/london/bars-pubs/bar-termini) – the winner of Time Out London's Bar of the Year (https://www.timeout.com/london/bars-and-pubs/the-time-out-london-bar-awards-2017) prize – picking up the accolade of 9th Best Bar in the world.

In at No1... Savo y’s Am erican Bar What is it: Oh, it’s only the oldest cocktail bar in the whole country, an icon for bars from around the world to use as the benchmark, the proving-ground for the very first "celebrity bartender" back in 1903, and now the owner of one shiny Greatest Cocktail Bar on Planet Earth trophy. What the judges said: “At the forefront of the cocktail world for more than 125 years… But this is no cocktail museum of well-worn classics peddled to tourists – the current stewards are only looking forward.” The clever alternative: Let’s saaaay Disrepute, insofar as it ticks the "American" and "Historic" boxes. Yes yes, it’s only one year old, but here’s the thing: it’s built upon the foundations of the Kingly Court’s infamous Kingly Club, a hangout for Hollywood’s old-school cool.

The Savoy's American Bar named Best in the World By Georgia Bronte 06-Oct-2017 - Last updated on 06-Oct-2017 at 11:14 GMT
American Bar at London’s Savoy has been voted the World’s Best Bar at the World's 50 Best Bars Awards 2017. The bar, which was also named Best Bar in Europe at the ceremony, held last night (5 October), took the top spot from the 2016 number one, The Dead Rabbit in New York. The World's 50 Best Bars list spans 24 cities in 19 countries, with this year’s ranking featuring seven new entries and four re-entries. The ranking is created by the votes of an Academy of over 500 industry experts from 55 countries. Eight London bars feature in the World’s 50 Best Bars list this year, with three in the top �ve - American Bar at The Savoy, Ryan Chetiyawardana’s bar Dandelyan at The Mondrian Hotel (number two), and The Connaught Bar at the Connaught Hotel (number four). American Bar has featured in the top 10 four times since its �rst appearance six years ago. Following an extensive three-year refurbishment in 2010, the bar reopened under head bartender Erik Lorenz and manager Declan McGurk. The bar has 125 years of cocktail history. Bar Termini in Soho jumped 21 places up the list to number nine. Nightjar, a regular on the list at number, has been joined by its sister venue Oriole at number 17, both of which are owned by husband and wife team Edmund Weil and Roisin Stimpson. The Bartenders’ Bartender award went to Iain Gri�ths, the bartender behind London bars Dandelyan and White Lyan. One London bar did drop o� the list; Callooh Callay, last year’s number 48, was not included this year. Last year’s number 47, Bramble in Edinburgh, also dropped out of the listing. Europe remains the international drinking stronghold, with 19 bars included in this year’s ranking. The US has 13 bars on the list, seven of which are New York-based. The highest ranking US bar was The NoMad at NoMad Hotel (number three), which also took the award for Best Bar in North America. From Asia, bars in Singapore, Hong Kong, China, Japan, and for the �rst time Taiwan, were all recognised in the awards. Manhattan bar (Number seven), located in the Regent Hotel Singapore, took home Best Bar in Asia.

This year’s ranking includes bars from 27 cities in 19 countries, with 11 new entries. Overall, Europe continues as the international epicentre for fine drinking, leading the regions ranking with 22 of its bars included within the list. Once again, London boasted more bars in the top 50 than any other city with nine bars listed overall. London hotel bars led the rankings this year, with The American Bar at The Savoy taking second place and being named Tanqueray Best Bar in Europe. Other hotel bars followed closely: Dandelyan from the Mondrian London, and Connaught Bar at The Connaught.

This year 14 bars are included and with four New York bars challenging in the top 10.

Now in its ninth year, the prestigious awards ranked Melbourne's iconic Black Pearl at number 22, the same spot it claimed in 2016's list. This year, however, the bar backed it up with a few extra accolades, scooping the gong for Best Bar in Australasia and honoured with the title of Legend of the List, for its efforts in making the cut each year the awards have been held. Sydney bar The Baxter Inn also made a return to the list, this time clocking in at number 45 and rounding out the Australian contingent. Taking out top spot, along with the title of Best Bar in Europe, was The American Bar at London's Savoy Hotel. This is a win for us Aussies also — the international cocktail icon just announced it'll take over The Black Pearl and Sydney's Eau De Vie for a series of pop-ups later this month. London again proved the most represented city in the list, honoured with eight top 50 placings.

Savoy Hotel’s American Bar emerges as the top winner of The World’s 50 Best Bars Monthly Unique Browsers: 703, 152
London conquers at the annual rankings as Savoy Hotel’s American Bar replaces New York’s The Dead Rabbit to be the top bar in the world, followed closely by Dandelyan in Mondrian London. Oct 10, 2017 | By Pameyla Cambe
American Bar, Savoy Hotel
London’s Southwark Cathedral played host to the 2017 edition of The World’s 50 Best Bars on September 5, gathering some of the industry’s top mixologists from speakeasies, local watering holes and hotel bars. The location of the annual gala, which is held to highlight the best bars around the world, is hardly a coincidence; that night, London took home the most number of spots on the list, including the first place. Ironically, London’s top winner is the American Bar of The Savoy Hotel. Savoy Hotel’s storied hotel bar effectively knocks last year’s winner, The Dead Rabbit, off of its throne. The New York bar now sits at fifth place, sharing the top 10 list with two other bars from the city: Attaboy at the eighth place, and The NoMad Hotel ranked the highest of the three at the third spot. As its name would suggest, American Bar was one of the first bars to introduce Londoners to the fashionable American-style “cocktail” drink, which became popular in the late 19th century. Besides boasting a legacy that stretches back more than a century, the bar is also run by a string of professionals who pull off their jobs with mastery and skill. American Bar’s 11th bartender, Erik Lorincz, is no stranger to accolades for his own abilities, having previously been named the Best International Bartender at the 2011 edition of Tales of the Cocktail.
Bartender Erik Lorincz at The American Bar, Savoy Hotel
The world’s best bar would be nothing without its drinks, and the menu at the American Bar is one of the imaginative variety. Entitled “Coast to Coast”, the menu takes guests on a liquid journey across Britain, aspiring to evoke the island’s verdant landscape, folklore, history and characters from the North to the South. The inventive cocktails are inspired by everything from the Garden of England in Kent and the Sherwood Forest to London’s Art Deco era and the Edinburgh Castle. Naturally, many of these poetic concoctions are on the pricey side. For example, The Arthur’s Seat is a £30 cocktail made with Royal Brackla 16-year-old malt whisky, wild honeysuckle Cocchi Rosa aperitif, wine, honey water, raspberry vinegar and blossom bitters. American Bar was accompanied by several other London-based establishments on the top 10 list, such as Connaught Bar (#4) and Bar Termini (#9). Mondrian London’s botanicthemed Dandelyan, which won the Best International Hotel Bar at this year’s Spirited Awards, came in at a close second. Across the list of 50 winners that encompasses 24 cities in 19 countries, Europe and the US made up a big share with 19 and 13 spots respectively. Asia had 12 addresses on the list, with Singapore’s Manhattan Bar being the best in the region at seventh place. Shanghai’s Speak Low came in at 10th place. Down under, Melbourne’s Black Pearl came out as the top bar in Australasia. Mexico City’s Licoreria Limantour represents the best of Latin America while Tel Aviv’s Imperial Craft is at the forefront of the bar scene in the Middle East and Africa.

Master of Malt Whisky Blog American Bar at The Savoy crowned World’s Best Bar 2017! By Annie Hayes on October 6, 2017, 4:15 pm

128 year old American Bar at The Savoy, one of the most iconic venues in bartending history, was last night named World’s Best Bar 2017 – and has immediately topped our must-revisit list. Where many London bars try to create an air of faux-retro glamour with a bit of velvet upholstery and a waiter in a bowtie, the American Bar is the genuine article. And it can thank its rich history for its sense of style. You could quite literally write a tome documenting the history of the bar – it opened the same year as the Eiffel Tower was completed (1889, FYI) – and the famous faces that have walked through its doors over the years. We’re talking Frank Sinatra and Marlene Dietrich here, none of that Kardashian nonsense. By the early 20th century, the concept of transatlantic flight had evolved from something completely terrifying to extremely fancy, leading to an influx of fashionable Americans in Britain. In addition to their wealth they brought with them cocktails and country music. We Brits were particularly interested in the former, and responded by opening a bunch of ‘American Bars’ (0/10 for creativity). Not only is The Savoy’s version the last remaining bar of its kind, it’s also the oldest surviving cocktail bar in the UK. Even more pertinent are the legendary figures that once stood behind the bar: inventor of the Hanky-Panky and celebrity bartender of the early 1900s Ada Coleman (you know she would’ve been slinging drinks on the Victorian equivalent of Channel 4’s Sunday Brunch) and her successor, Harry Craddock, who penned bartender bible The Savoy Cocktail Book. Now under the expert stewardship of Declan McGurk and Erik Lorincz, the cocktail programme is as pioneering as it was all those years ago – and with that kind of old-school finesse that only The Savoy could dish out.

VON JÜRGEN BÄTZ UND LAETITIA BEZAIN ANTANANARIVO. Am Flughafen und in Banken tragen die Angestellten Atemmasken, Versammlungen sind verboten, Schulen bleiben geschlossen. Der Präsident spricht von „Krieg“. Ein Ausbruch der hochgefährlichen und leicht übertragbaren Lungenpest versetzt die Menschen in Madagaskar in Angst – vor allem, weil die Pest diesmal in den dicht besiedelten Städten grassiert. Anfang Oktober bildeten sich erstmals lange Schlangen vor den Apotheken der Hauptstadt Antananarivo, als Menschen versuchten, rasch Antibiotika zur Pest-Prophylaxe zu kaufen. Die Vorräte waren schnell verbraucht. Die Regierung rief zur Besonnenheit auf. Doch kurz darauf schickte das Gesundheitsministerium SMS-Kurznachrichten an alle in Madagaskar registrierten Telefone: „Lungenpest: schneller Tod. Wenn Sie husten und eines der Symptome haben – Fieber, Halsweh, Atemlosigkeit, blutiger Auswurf – dann gehen Sie ins Krankenhaus.“ Inzwischen sind der Pest in dem Inselstaat vor der Südostküste Afrikas rund 50 Menschen zum Opfer gefallen, etwa 450 sind erkrankt, die Hälfte davon in Antananarivo. Bereits mehr als 320 von ihnen sind an Lungenpest erkrankt. Eine Epidemie dieses Ausmaßes gab es seit jener im indischen Surat 1994 nicht. Die Schulen in Antananarivo, einer Stadt mit etwa 2,2 Millionen Einwohnern, und andere Orte sind diese Woche gespenstisch leer, an der Universität fiel der Unterricht aus. Nur ein paar Studenten seien auf dem Campus, um Gruppenar-

beiten zu machen, sagt die 20-jährige Antsa Randriamanalina. „Ich mache mir schon ein bisschen Sorgen. Ich hoffe, dass es nicht noch schlimmer wird.“ „Wir befinden uns in einem Krieg, aber wir haben, glaube ich, die Waffen und die Munition, diese Epidemie zu besiegen“, sagte Madagaskars Präsident Hery Rajaonarimampianina am Dienstag bei der Übergabe von Hilfsmitteln durch die Weltgesundheitsorganisation (WHO). Diese hat knapp 1,5 Millionen Dosen Antibiotika geschickt. Damit könnten bis zu 5000 Erkrankte behandelt werden

und 100 000 Menschen Prophylaxe bekommen. Verursacher der Pest ist das Bakterium Yersinia pestis. Der Erreger wird meist von Flöhen übertragen, die sich Ratten als Wirt nehmen. Wird ein Mensch von einem infizierten Floh gebissen, zeigen sich nach bis zu sieben Tagen Symptome wie bei einer schweren Grippe, dann schwellen Lymphknoten zu dicken Beulen an. Bei früher Diagnose sind die Heilungschancen durch Antibiotika sehr hoch. Im fortgeschrittenen Stadium kann eine Beulenpest zur Lungenpest führen. Sie wird durch Tröpfchen
übertragen, kann sich schnell ausbreiten und führt unbehandelt schnell zum Tod. Kaum eine andere Seuche hat in der Geschichte so viel Angst und Schrecken verbreitet wie die Pest: Zwischen 1347 und 1353 raffte der Schwarze Tod in Europa zig Millionen Menschen dahin – etwa ein Drittel der Bevölkerung. Ein Ausbruch der Pest in Deutschland ist extrem unwahrscheinlich. Theoretisch könnten infizierte Ratten und Flöhe auf Frachtschiffen ankommen. Oder ein zurückkehrender Urlauber könnte die Krankheit einschlep-
pen. Doch selbst diesen Fall sehen Experten gelassen. Mit funktionierendem Gesundheitssystem wäre ein Pest-Ausbruch schnell unter Kontrolle, heißt es bei der WHO. „Das beunruhigendste Szenario wäre, wenn die Lungenpest eine der Städte auf dem afrikanischen Festland erreichen würde, die direkte Flugverbindungen nach Madagaskar haben, nämlich Addis Abeba, Nairobi und Johannesburg“, erklärt Ben Payton, AfrikaExperte bei der Risikoberatung Verisk Maplecroft. Die Behörden dort würden vermutlich „Schwierigkeiten haben, die Krankheit unter Kontrolle zu bringen“. Die jetzige Epidemie trifft in Antananarivo vor allem Armenviertel. Sie sind vielerorts voll mit Müll, sodass Ratten ideale Bedingungen haben, weswegen es immer wieder Fälle der Beulenpest gibt. Um wegen des Ausbruchs der Lungenpest Panik zu vermeiden, haben die Behörden an den Zugängen zu betroffenen Vierteln Zelte aufgestellt, in denen Experten die Bevölkerung informieren. Madagaskar mit rund 25 Millionen Einwohnern ist seit Jahren das Land mit den weltweit meisten gemeldeten Pest-Erkrankungen, vor allem von Beulenpest. Wird aus einem Dorf ein Fall gemeldet, rücken die Gesundheitsbehörden an, um gegen Ratten vorzugehen, Häuser zu desinfizieren und mit Insektizid einzusprühen. Angehörige müssen vorsorglich Antibiotika nehmen. Pest-Tote werden mit Chlorlösung gewaschen und mit Kalk eingerieben – sie können die Infektion weitergeben. Bestattungsrituale wie die Totenwache sind bei Pest verboten. Die Leichen müssen weit weg von Friedhöfen begraben werden. dpa
Wie eine warme Umarmung Die American Bar in London markiert die Weltspitze. Das Schumann's auf Platz 38 Von unserer Korrespondentin KATRIN PRIBYL LONDON. Vielleicht ist es ja die Ge-
schichte. Sehr wahrscheinlich sogar. Sie hüllt einen sofort ein, wenn man durch die in schummriges Licht getauchte Bar schreitet. Der schwere Teppich schluckt die Schritte, ein Pianist am schwarzen Flügel sorgt für Jazzklänge. An den Wänden hängen Fotos von prominenten Persönlichkeiten aus mehr als einem Jahrhundert, und irgendwie wird man plötzlich Teil davon. Hier hat sich Ernest Hemingway seine Freunde „interessanter“ gesoffen, hier erholte sich Marilyn Monroe bei einem Champagner von Presseterminen während ihrer London-Besuche. Der britische Staatsmann Winston Churchill trank stets seinen privaten Whisky. Die American Bar im Londoner Luxushotel Savoy hat unzählige solcher Geschichten parat. Und verzweifelt doch nicht an der Last der Historie oder wirkt wie ein Museum. Im Gegenteil: Gerade wurde sie beim renommierten Ranking „The World's 50 Best Bars 2017“, das vom Fachverlag William Reed erstellt wird, zur internationalen Topadresse gekürt. Im hinteren Teil der im Art-déco-Stil eingerichteten Bar, die 1893 öffnete und 1904 in die heutigen Räumlichkeiten umzog, mixt, schüttelt und rührt Martin Hudak seit fast drei Jahren Cocktails. Hinter ihm stehen zwischen etlichen aufgereihten Flaschen und vor der verspiegelten Wand in Szene gesetzt die

gewonnenen Trophäen. Der Barkeeper platzt fast vor Stolz. „Für gewöhnlich meinen die Leute, die American Bar sei in der Geschichte verloren, altmodisch und es gebe nur klassische Drinks“, sagt er. Dabei gehe es dem Team um Zukunft und Fortschritt. „Wie schon vor mehr als 100 Jahren wollen wir auch heute neue und moderne Cocktails kreieren.“ Das „Savoy Cocktail Book“ aus den 1930er Jahren von Harry Craddock ist bis heute die Bibel für Barkeeper. Tatsächlich versucht die lange Karte der American Bar Tradition mit Innovation zu verbinden. Es ist eine Reise über die Insel, von Kent im Süden Englands über London weiter in den Norden in den Sherwood Forest, die Pennines sowie die Grafschaften Yorkshire und Lancashire, wo die industrielle Revolution ihren Anfang nahm, bis ins
schottische Edinburgh. Jede Region hat ihren eigenen Charakter, ihre eigene Geschichte und ihre eigenen Aromen, Geschmäcker, Spirituosen, Kräuter und Liköre, die in den Getränken widergespiegelt werden. Zu jedem Mix können Hudak und die anderen Barkeeper eine Geschichte erzählen. Dabei, so der 27-Jährige, sei jeder in der Lokalität willkommen: „Es ist egal, ob man ein Superstar ist oder monatelang Geld gespart hat für ein Geburtstagsfest.“ Die Bar ist schon nach wenigen Momenten in gewisser Weise ein Zuhause, alles fühlt sich an wie eine warme Umarmung. In London sind vier der zehn Topbars beherbergt. Den zweiten Platz belegte das ebenfalls in der britischen Metropole gelegene Dandelyan. Aus Deutschland hat es das Schumann's in München auf Platz 38 geschafft.

Formel-1-Pilot Lewis Hamilton (32) will gern als Modeschöpfer durchstarten. „Ich will meine eigenen Sachen entwerfen“, sagte der Brite am Donnerstagabend in Berlin. Seinen Stil hat der Rennfahrer schon gefunden: lässig chic. Als Fashion-Vorbild nannte der aktuelle WM-Spitzenreiter US-Sänger Pharrell Williams. „Er verschiebt Grenzen, geht seinen Weg“, schwärmte Hamilton. Der Mercedes-Pilot kann im nächsten Rennen am 22. Oktober in Austin/Texas zum vierten Mal Formel-1-Weltmeister werden. In der WM führt er vier Grand Prix vor Saisonende mit 59 Punkten Vorsprung vor Ferrari-Star Sebastian Vettel. DPA

US-Schauspielerin Jennifer Aniston (48) hat Medienberichten zufolge eine Million Dollar für HurrikanOpfer auf Puerto Rico gespendet. Die Hälfte gehe demnach an das Rote Kreuz, die andere Hälfte an die Stiftung von Latino-Sänger Ricky Martin (45). „Wir werden das nie vergessen. Du rettest Leben, Jenn“, bedankte sich Martin auf Twitter bei dem „Friends“Star. Martin, der auf Puerto Rico geboren wurde, hat mit seiner Stiftung laut „People“Magazin bereits über drei Millionen Dollar eingenommen, auch dank der Hilfe von Stars wie Ellen DeGeneres, Leonardo DiCaprio und Alec Baldwin.

Skirennfahrer Felix Neureuther (33) zeigt sich vor der Geburt seines ersten Kindes nervös. „Es ist zwar das größte Glück auf Erden, Vater zu werden, aber so ganz entspannt bin ich momentan nicht“, sagte der Oberbayer, dessen Freundin Miriam Gössner (27) hochschwanger ist, der Münchner „Abendzeitung“. „Das Baby könnte theoretisch jederzeit kommen. Deshalb habe ich das Handy jetzt immer in der Hosentasche.“ Der beste deutsche Alpin-Sportler bereitet sich auf die Ende Oktober beginnende Olympia-Saison vor, ist in Gedanken aber bei seiner Freundin in Garmisch-Partenkirchen. „Ich bin schon aufgeregt, frage mich, was sein wird, wie das sein wird.“ DPA Mehr Leute

Die American Bar im Londoner Luxushotel Savoy hat unzählige solcher Geschichten parat. Und verzweifelt doch nicht an der Last der Historie oder wirkt wie ein Museum. Im Gegenteil: Gerade wurde sie beim renommierten Ranking „The World‘s 50 Best Bars 2017“, das vom Fachverlag William Reed erstellt wird, zur internationalen Topadresse für das laufende Jahr gekürt.
Die Bibel für Barkeeper Im hinteren Teil der im Art-Déco-Stil eingerichteten legendären Bar, die 1893 öffnete und 1904 in die heutigen Räumlichkeiten umzog, mixt, schüttelt und rührt Martin Hudak seit fast drei Jahren Cocktails. Hinter ihm stehen zwischen etlichen aufgereihten Flaschen und vor der verspiegelten Wand in Szene gesetzt die gewonnenen Trophäen. Der Barkeeper platzt fast vor Stolz über die nun erlangte höchste Ehre in der Branche. „Für gewöhnlich meinen die Leute, die American Bar sei in der Geschichte verloren, altmodisch und es gebe nur klassische Drinks“, sagt er, gekleidet in weißem Jackett mit schwarzem Kragen sowie schwarzer Krawatte. Dabei gehe es dem Team um Zukunft und Fortschritt. „Wie schon vor mehr als 100 Jahren wollen wir auch heute neue und moderne Cocktails kreieren.“ Das „Savoy Cocktail Book“ aus den 1930er-Jahren von Harry Craddock ist bis heute die Bibel für Barkeeper. Tatsächlich versucht die lange Karte der American Bar, Tradition mit Innovation zu verbinden. Es ist eine Reise über die Insel, von Kent im Süden Englands über London, wo an die Art-Déco-Ära erinnert wird, weiter in den Norden in den Sherwood Forest, die Pennines sowie die Grafschaften Yorkshire und Lancashire, wo die industrielle Revolution ihren Anfang nahm, bis ins schot-

tische Edinburgh. Jede Region hat ihren eigenen Charakter, ihre eigene Geschichte und ihre eigenen Aromen, Geschmäcker, Spirituosen, Kräuter und Liköre, die in den Getränken widergespiegelt werden. Zu jedem Mix können Hudak und die anderen Barkeeper eine Geschichte erzählen. Dabei, so der 27-Jährige, sei jeder in der Lokalität willkommen – „Es ist egal, ob man ein Superstar ist oder monatelang Geld gespart hat für ein Geburtstagsfest.“ Die Bar ist schon nach wenigen Momenten in gewisser Weise ein Zuhause, alles fühlt sich an wie eine warme Umarmung, aus der man sich kaum lösen will und die Geborgenheit stiftet.

Er arbeitet in einer anderen Londoner Bar als Barkeeper und führt an diesem Abend seine Freundin in die American Bar aus. „Als ich vor der Tür stand, hat plötzlich mein Herz begonnen, schneller zu schlagen“, sagt er voller Ehrfurcht. „Dies hier“, er zeigt hinter die Theke, „ist der Traum von Tausenden Mixern auf der ganzen Welt“. In London, der Cocktail-Hauptstadt, sind laut Ranking vier der zehn Topbars beherbergt. Den zweiten Platz belegte das ebenfalls in der britischen Metropole gelegene Dandelyan. London und New York bieten mit Abstand die meisten Spitzenlokale für Cocktailfans. Aus Deutschland hat es allein das „Schumann‘s“ in München auf Platz 38 geschafft.

Sie zeigt Barkeeper Hudak auf ihrem Smartphone Bilder ihres Vaters, der erst zwei Wochen zuvor gestorben ist und der als Stammgast bekannt war. Der Tochter bleiben die Erinnerungen an seine Besuche in der Metropole, wo er 15 Jahre lang im Savoy-Hotel übernachtete. An die Gespräche und Begegnungen in dieser seiner Lieblingsbar. Bei einem Glas Weißwein erzählt sie von den Abenden. Hudak hört zu. „Die American Bar ist wie ein Dorf in einer großen Stadt. Es ist ein Mix aus Menschen, die wie Familie sind, Cocktail-Begeisterten, Touristen und Briten“, sagt sie über die Besonderheit des Ortes. Ein Italiener steigt in das Ge-
