- Serious thread - really
- i am flying in this weekend
- girl in question has wealthy family - fortune in the billions of billions - she in privately flying in to do some of London - she herself is sitting on tens of millions.
- I am not a member of any private clubs in London - stop it. Just stop.
- Needs to be sw**ky. Posh. Outrageously expensive for expensive’s sake.
Please advise.
You don't have a club?
Suggest Claridges but it's not really Mayfair.
Isn't there a nearby 'Spoons?
Sounds like she’d appreciate that Gold steak place
Risky where were you? Was expecting a pint.
SJH with the best suggestion so far.
Donovan Bar, Browns Hotel
was there last night. You can spend like £10k on a glass of cognac.
very sorry to hear this, you must be ghastly
£10k on a brandy lolz. Imagine if you spilled it.
There must be a Subway round there to get a sandwich and then you can take her to Green Park with a bottle of White Lightning.
Not sure why
Canaryjim, if he sends us the pub name and table number, we can supply him with food and booze all night via the app.
"Another pitcher of Pornstar Martini for Sir, is it?"
any of "the" hotels
I stick to the cockrail list - spicey fifty or a breakfast martini.
If you are very lucky you get to meet the great Salvatore himself, he is wonderful. And at 6.30 they come round with lovely canapes (in addition to the usual bar snacks they bring anyway)
So far I have donovans
theres also manettas and mr foggs
latter seems common
manettas seems eh
any other thoughts?
Sexy Fish
Also below bar
‘You don't have a club?‘
perhaps he means he is only a member of one of the out of town establishments (eg The Hurlingham)
Isn’t sexy fish a restaurant filled with hookers? I’ve been there years ago
SJH - she sounds like she’d appreciate a good honest British fry up with extra black pudding. Goes well with Pornstar.
You could always just waltz into the RAC. They never check.
Seriously, could you rent the Presidential Suite at one of the Park Lane hotels and hire the chef to cook in person at the suite?
CJ, heh.
She may appreciate a bit of ironic poverty, like Jarvis's Greek bird.
"Damn this Chateau Lafite" etc.
I’m a guy so I’m going to be paying; she is getting us a private flight soon after which is probably tens of thousands at least so even stevens
she doesn’t really like British things like pubs
Is this for a pre-dinner drink? Or a bar with a restaurant? Or a post dinner drink? Or a late, late after the party drink?
Who do you want the other customers to be? Middle Eastern oil? Tech entrepreneurs? Old money? Celebrities? Bankers?
Only a millionairess? Why don’t you imagine someone even richer?
Imagine her to be incredibly fit too while you’re at it
Pre dinner
all of those groups are generally sort of acceptable, just not common people
Sexyfish as recommended above.
You'll feel at home there biggie, it's just like some Dubai hooker pit.
Plus @ duck, where do you think Claridge's is if not Mayfair?
Sexy fish is the place where I turned up and there were three Japanese prostitutes at my table; I remember the place and I remember thinking it was so odd they weee Japanese, you don’t get many Japanese prostitutes
Clubs arent blingy though are they, and what if she’s in a mini dress and plunging neckline??
There’s the Rivoli bar at the Ritz too though it’s v crowded and you cant book if you’re not staying in the hotel.
Did you have trouble booking all three at once then?
Listen someone just give me a serious best bar suggestion in Mayfair - the best of the best, the place which is so sw**ky she’ll compliment me on my venue choice and be into me
A friend booked them for us for his birthday
"she doesn’t really like British things like pubs"
She doesnt like pubs? This imaginary woman should be dumped asap
The Bar at the Dorchester is lively without being crowded, luxury without being flash.
Or Maretti’s at the Fleming Hotel
We normally go to 5 Hertford St, but it’s a members club.
Also the Baccarat Bar at Harrods.
Still pref Donovans though, you cant go wrong.
Sw**ky hotel = uniformed doorman with hat etc, can I get you a taxi, madam? Etc
the Bar at the Dorchester is closed and the replacement bar is called the Roofto and has 3.7 stars on Google :(
looks like marettis
Donovan’s vs marettis vs baccarat?
What's the family name?
As billionaires we can check them out. See if this heiress is all that
there's a karaoke box on... Conduit street? Maddox street?
you wanna impress a rich date you take them to Archipelago and let them instagram some dishes they've never had
Assert dominance by seizing her phone and forbidding male friends. Have her shop for groceries and cook. Problem solved.
Right?
More meds for Biggie.
His mammy must be wondering where he has got to…
Martini bar at the connaught
Why can't you just imagine the venue, like you did the woman.
that would be the blue bar at the Berkeley
or the red room at the Connaught
Saloon Bar at The Winchester is more Biggie’s roost.
Connaught bar is the best.
Can we all agree on what is the best please? I’m getting connault, browns; please can you kindly decide and then rate each on an objective scale making the metrics utilised clear for me? Can you kindly do this for me in the next hour?
Thanks.
Forget Mayfair, too many professionals.
I'd go to that bar with no name in Notting Hill that looks like an ordinary house with a big red door, that no one knows is there unless they know.
How tf do you have to ask rof? Obvs troll is trolling. And a peasant.
“she doesn’t really like British things like pubs”
She sounds megatede.
ask my girlfriend
You must visit Farnham.
Honestly this isn’t helpful. I haven’t got a definitive recc with comparables.
Her dad is the richest or second richest man in whatever her relevant country is.
I never said she was hot. Would I marry her for the money and divorce thereafter? Of course I would, this is what this whole thing is about. Although I am getting way ahead of myself and this won’t happen. I feel like a girl going out on a date with a rich old dude knowing the chance of really getting a big divorce payout is pretty slim but still worth going for.
It’s not in Mayfair but the bar at the Rosewood is nice. And has a sexy vibe
I'd head for the Garden Room at the Lanesborough - cracking cigars and brandy/armagnac with the library bar good for cocktails etc.
If you want a real suggestion - the bar below the restaurant Bar des Pres.
Try this ranking out of 5 stars

(Much as I like Mr Foggs) 6,7,8, and 9 are not sw**ky enough for you
How unpleasant. Hope you crash and burn.
Where and how did it go?
He stayed in with his mum, who made him a nice Lancashire hot-pot, and they watched Call the Midwife.
It's the bar at the connaught for me. Lovely cocktails but f*cking expensive.
Where did you go in the end?
Most importantly, which watch did you wear and how much did she love it?
A mere septillionairess? Why are you slumming it?
How was it biggie?
