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!

For the longest time, I thought that my generation is, for the lack of a better word, doomed (I’m 18). One must remember: For every genius the internet brings forth a million dim-witted nincompoops. 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 Allison, So few gentlemen exude just such grace and humility without any amount of pretentiousness or insincerity in this day and age. In my experience from some years of my youth performing the role as a chaperone in some fine bars and establishments here in Australia, there was an ayre if superiority and entitlement by too many attempting to sire themselves as gentleman that always spiked the hairs on my neck, you Sir, are not among these men and women. You truly are a man out of time past, a true gentleman.

I was fortunate enough to visit Duke's with my sister in October '23. What a treat this was! I'm not generally a martini fan but had to have a Vesper Martini....what an amazing experience! Glauco was our table side bartender and he was simply incredible! We saw Alessandro there as well...a class act! While mixing at our table, Glauco told us all about the drink and engaged in friendly talk. The Vesper martini, which is delicious, was a highlight of our trip to London and I will definitely be back!

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. )

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

I had my first martini at the Dukes in the spring of 2000 prepared by Mr Palazzi's predecessor, Gilberto Preti. Our son was with us so we had to sit in the lovely drawing room down the hall where Mr Preti brought the cart to us. Very nice. 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...

On another note, i was pleasantly surprised to see him use Potocki vodka. We had a old family friend who had a distant nephew that is related to the destilleri and thus introduced us to the vodka. One of the best vodkas i have tried so far and can imagine the fabulous taste of that vespa.

I trust the gentleman completely with his choices of gin and Vermouth, but when he said his lemons were from Amalfi, the coastal town of Italy, I knew that this man was a master. To him, no one ingredient is more important than another; the citrus, as he said, welcomes your senses to the drink and prepares the palate. Well done, sir.

ALL that history and knowledge! Did you notice behind Alessandro while he was talking at your table is a cool picture hanging on the wall of Sean Connery wearing his infamous tux! What’s so great about this hidden gem is how Ian Fleming loved this place! Knowing that he had sat there too! I would love to get the Vesper! Looks so good. I must go to this special place!

Thank you so very much for this video. I never realized that the humble Martini could be elevated to such heights. Nothing makes me so appreciative than a Man who is passionate of his craft. The construction of the perfect Martini. Keep up the good work.

That was an absolute joy. The Martini is absolutely singular. There are other greats, but the martini sits outside of everything else. I've never seen it made like that either. Visited the American Bar recently and had a corpse reviver in honour of Harry Craddock, but I am absolutely heading to Duke's next time. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. Wonderful stuff.

Wonderful episode! Fantastic variety while keeping the lovely theme. Great distractions too while waiting for specific follow up episodes. Yes, I'm waiting for Eddie's 2nd or final fitting. Please please do another vintage hunt with Max Foulkes.

We’ve already filmed the second fitting with Eddie, so it should be coming soon. And YES to another video with Max… but he’s a hard cat to corner.

Being an amazing bartender is a dying art. So many aspects, many of them unteachable. You either have it or you don’t.

I am heading to London for the second time over this Thanksgiving break (My first time was last Thanksgiving and I visited the The Sahakian Lounge (Bulgari Hotel) for a cigar and mentioned your name!). I can't wait to visit Duke's and have a classic martini, intro myself to Alessandro and mention that you had sent me! Thank you for the videos they have been helpful getting around London in style!
