Duke's Bar in London is possibly one of the best-kept secrets amongst the well-dressed. Hidden at the end of not one, but two alleyways, one steps back in time when they enter Duke's Bar, to an era where everyone was well-dressed and well-mannered. Serving some of London's strongest - and coldest - martinis, bartender Alessandro Palazzi is as famous as the bar itself and drinks he serves.
In today's video, Kirby steps inside Duke's Bar to visit with Alessandro and discover what makes it stand out as mecca of civility and home to the world's best martini!

So as far as I can tell, hope isn’t lost, far from it. With modern medicine, travel options and a seemingly infinite amount of knowledge at their fingertips, we must only encourage our kids and teens and give them a little nudge in the right direction and all will be just fine.

@mr.k5865 11 ай бұрын

Thank you Kirby and Alessandro. I am so grateful Kirby you are standing up for normalizing a passion for details, quality, and good fellowship. In a world getting more and more encouraged to follow the lowest common denominator as "normal", there is so little self-esteem in society today. You see this with many being triggered, even offended, at the idea of bettering themselves whether via clothes, manners, or time-valued traditions. Sadly, no one has taught them there is a vast world of difference between self-importance and self-respect, between false pretensions and genuine joy in sharing hard-won excellence with other appreciative people. Thank you again, Kirby! Sending lots of love and gratitude to you and your team. P.S. I would love to see you do a video that incorporates cocktails and cigars...especially helpful would be explaining how to pair cocktails with cigars. Maybe there is a fine cigar lounge-bar willing to offer some advice on your show?

You watch Kirby because you wanna see a wide-eyed Texan roleplaying as a European aristocrat, being a bit cringe as he rolls around London or other capitals with a faux pas hat. Or make even the most mundane stuff sound painfully pretentious. He's fun watching because he's genuine in what he does, but still fumbles because he becomes such an cliché of what an American thinks a traditional, old money, aristocratic European behaves and dresses likes. And he also belongs to the very much non-traditional influencers, promoting the "iGents" lifestyle. And they personally profit from pushing overpriced stuff onto their clueless followers. Thats their main drive to make these kinds of videos and blog posts

@cannibalholocaust3015 11 ай бұрын

The Trolley at the tableside is one of the things that make the bar so elegant and sedate. I remember my visit there more than a decade ago. Very polite staff and other patrons. It was sanctuary away from the hustle and bustle of a very busy city. The gauzey sunlight entering the room from the lounge window gave a nice soft summer afternoon glow. That was still the best martini I have ever had. ...and I don't prefer to drink them as they are not as good. (the local bar at our seaside hotel that was once a haunt for Hollywood types like local son Gregory Peck and anglophile writer Raymond Chandler had put in a new bar to replace the beloved bar from 1948 and had "Vesper" on the menu that did not come close to following the recipe in Casino Royale at all and was akin to bad kerosene; so I told the bartender how they do it at Duke's Bar and he agreed to make one and he himself tasted it and said that it was waaaaaay better than what they had. )

The martini was essentially the same but he instructed us to chew a cashew, then an olive (no pimento) and then take a big sip. We each had our two drink limit.

As a youngster, I seemed to have a talent for inventing cocktails, standing at the bar. Years later, in the Middle East (yes!) I bought a book on cocktails and all the mixing paraphernalia and thought I would start with the perfect martini. I started by selecting a good gin. I came up with Hendricks. I tried, tried and tried again. I mixed every concievable recipe and didn't mix a single cocktail that was even approaching acceptable. It's not as simple as following a recipe. Next time I'm in London, I'll visit Duke's and try a proper martini. At least I will know what a good one tastes like...
