Cocktail Bar (in) Mayfair
Opening this December at 11 Berkeley Street, Chargal is a bold new three-storey Mediterranean–Turkish dining destination by Serdar Demir, founder of The Mantl. Blending Turkish heritage with refined Mediterranean flair, it unites mezze, fine dining, and a late-night lounge under one roof. Centred around open-fire cooking, Chargal reimagines classics like Wagyu Iskender and Halloumi Doughnuts in a space inspired by wood, smoke, and stone — setting a new benchmark for modern Mediterranean–Turkish dining in London.

Hidden beneath 11 Berkeley Street, Chargal’s cocktail bar reveals the more intimate side of the building — a space shaped by fire, flavour and quiet sophistication. A discreet entrance leads down into warm light, soft textures and a room designed for stillness rather than spectacle. Velvet, oak and brass create a calm, polished atmosphere where conversation settles naturally and every detail reflects a deeper sense of craft and care.
The bar’s cocktails follow the same elemental philosophy as the kitchen above. Mediterranean and Levantine ingredients are infused, citrus is charred, and honey, saffron and smoke add subtle depth. Drinks are built with precision and restraint, from a smoked-lemon martini to a fig old fashioned touched with oak. Each creation feels intentional, confident and quietly expressive, pairing effortlessly with mezze and late-night moments.
Tucked-away lounges allow the experience to become more personal, offering privacy for celebrations or quiet evenings shaped around bespoke cocktails. Together with the mezze bar on the ground floor and the dining room above, Chargal’s lounge completes a journey that moves from warmth to craft to intimacy. It is a bar that honours tradition while fitting seamlessly into modern Mayfair — a hidden world designed to feel timeless, refined and unforgettable.
