The original drawing room of the Duke of Montrose, this is one of London’s most iconic private dining rooms.
Built in 1720, this room has been carefully re-imagined with mid-century aesthetic and a laid-back vibe. A low-key nod to the East Coast, the room features a giant capiz shell chandelier, mirrored cocktail bar and
sumptuous banquettes that add retro touches to the room, blending period fidelity and contemporary gloss.
Directly accessed via Hanover Square and New Bond Street, in the heart of Mayfair, The MAINE’s terrace is a hidden gem that can ccommodate up to 100 persons. Enveloped by foliage, atmospheric by day and seductive by night, the gardens have been reimagined from the original stables that backed onto Dering Yard, now named Medici Courtyard. Fresh linen and rust mohair, along with black and white print, immediately set the tone; New England heritage meets a modern take on a traditional British garden.
An homage to The Maine’s defining New England extravagance, this room captures the clubby spirit of a handsomely timeworn brasserie, with the essence of a debauched cabaret club. Every seat in the house faces the main stage featuring live entertainment. Designed with a jaw dropping neo-speakeasy aesthetic, every detail – from the OTT chandeliers, Hollywood regency sofas, bentwood chairs, distressed brick and the open exhibition grill and oyster bar that dominate the room – will make you feel as though The MAINE has been in business (and you’ve been a regular) forever.
Tucked within the original brick vaulted cellars of the house, this former servants quarters has been transformed into a speakeasy tavern – a collision of the quintessential British pub with Shaker style and New England architecture. Timber perforated banquettes, reminiscent of Shaker church pews, have been designed to cocoon the front room flanking the fireplace, whilst the long zinc bar is the ‘crown jewel’ of the room, manned by an army of skilled mixologists with a slavish allegiance to the craft of fine cocktail making. A few ‘war horses’ from the Brasserie menu have been summoned, but the bar menu mainly features Lobster Rolls, Pork Belly, Crispy Fish Tacos, Oysters Rockefeller, Tavern Burger and many more. Expect a buzzing happy hour with an oyster ‘Shuck Fest’ – making The Tavern the ultimate after work destination.
