The Rivoli Bar is a small, glowing Art Deco room inside The Ritz, with walnut panelling, gilding and glass inspired by the Orient Express. It serves cocktails, Champagne and light dishes. Smart casual dress applies, without jeans or sportswear. Green Park station is next door to The Ritz. It is a lovely place for an aperitif before dinner at The Ritz Restaurant or a nightcap after the theatre; seating is limited, so arrive early in the evening.
