While original wooden panelling and lavish furnishings dominate the hotel , the walls of the bar at The Gore have a distinctly rock 'n' roll vibe. Bar 190 is best known as the location for the launch and photoshoot for The Rolling Stones’ 1968 album Beggars Banquet, and the decor pays tribute to this event.
Bar 190 serves an extensive range of spirits, with notably large collections of whiskies and rums. The creative cocktail list takes full advantage of this huge variety, extending from classics – such as Martini and Negroni - to a range of gin and tonics based on botanical and citrus infusions.
Experience a flight of three Taittinger champagne tasters, each perfectly paired with a canapé.
• The Brut Réserve, complimented with a blini of caviar served with lime and chives cream
• The Prelude Cuvée, paired with a confit of chicken leg with sourdough bread and orange zest
• The Rosé, served with tomato confit and goats cheese on garlic crouton
Highlights
For an even more exclusive experience Bar 190 also offers a VIP area, 'Cinderella's Carriage'.

Founded in 1892, The Gore has become a legendary hotel, a symbol of the history of British hospitality.
Built as a serviced residence for visitors to London's Great Exhibition, under the patronage of Prince Albert, consort of Queen Victoria, it welcomed guests who wanted to stay in the heart of "the most fashionable area of the city ", that is to say in the houses at nos. 189 and 190 Queen's Gate, which form The Gore today.
Queen's Gate Mansions were a hotel in all but name, with liveried staff, horse-drawn carriages and a hydraulic lift – all considerable luxuries for the time. It built up a regular clientele over the years, including many leading names from the artistic scene of the period, who found a tranquil refuge at The Gore where they could feel inspired.
