31 May £10 Cocktail Bar
Above Scarpetta at the Montage Beverly Hills sits an intimate, private, reservation-only bar called £10 (Ten Pound). Inspired by General Manager Hermann Elger, £10, which opened in June 2011, is a luxury artisan bar specializing in the Scotches of Macallan, as well as a full cocktail bar with handcrafted cocktails done table-side.

- Krug Champagne
- Nolet Gin
- Hardy Cognac
- Jewel of Russian Vodka
- Macallan Scotch (and Highland Park)
- Deleon Tequila
- Zacaoa XO Rum
- American Bourgon and Rye Whiskey
When the menu is presented, you will notice that they are different than most menus. These menus are printed on wood from the American oak barrels that the Scotch was aged in.
Once seated, you are given an ice presentation where different types of ice cubes are brought out with recommendations based on the drink you order.
Ice selections include:
With your first drink, an appetizer dish comes with two pieces of perfectly cooked applewood smoked bacon sticking straight up in glass, along with beemster cheese and carmelized pecans.

- Kold Draft Cubes – These freeze from the inside out, resulting in no trapped air. They are colder, denser and don’t melt a lot when shaken.
- Whiskey Stones – These black cubes are 100% soapstone and are not porous. They manipulate the fatty acids in spirits and take off the liquor burn by decreasing the temperature without diluting the spirit.
- Ice balls – These are made from water imported from the Scottish Highlands, where the whiskey comes from. They fit perfectly in the Lalique tumbler.
Nick Daniels, who recently took over as Bar Manager, took our orders and then returned with a cart, where he makes the cocktails table-side. The menu offers five cocktails but Nick is happy to create any cocktail with your base spirit of choice.
