The Brasserie & Tavern

A rich and decadent blend of speakeasy tavern and brasserie, with a hint of debauched cabaret, set in the underbelly of Hanover Square.

This room is the epitome of New England extravagance, with the essence of a debauched cabaret club. Every seat in the house faces the main stage, featuring live jazz and impromptu burlesque performances.

Capturing the clubby spirit of a handsomely timeworn brasserie, this is the place to celebrate – from birthdays, to engagements, to the fact that you’ve survived another week at work.

Designed with a jaw dropping neo-speakeasy aesthetic, every detail – from the OTT chandelier, Hollywood regency sofas, the exhibition charcoal grill and the glistening oyster bar 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, the Tavern is the collision of the quintessential British pub and Shaker style Speakeasy bar. Timber perforated banquettes, reminiscent of church pews, surround the fireplace, and is the perfect spot for those tete-a-tete business lunches and candlelit romantic dinners for two.

The long zinc bar anchors the room, manned by an army of skilled mixologists with a slavish allegiance to the fine art of cocktail making. A few ‘war horses’ from the Brasserie menu have been summoned, but the bar menu mainly features Lobster Rolls, Crispy Fish Tacos, Short Rib Croquettes, a variety of Poutines and many more crowd-pleasing favourites.

Expect a buzzing happy hour from 16:00 – 18:00 Monday to Friday with an Oyster ‘Shuck Fest’ at £1 a shuck – making The Tavern the ultimate after work destination in the underbelly of Mayfair.
