Beautiful small bar as one of the carriages from the famous train. Cocktails are quite expensive and the place is down a side street, but the cocktails are delicious, I had one of the most beautiful cocktails I ever tasted here.
If you are looking for the farmer, you cannot miss this place. It has a very good music and it is a perfect place to enjoy good drinks, a good company, the ambience is beautiful as the service... You will feel like traveling in a train.
This bar is modelled after a train car of the Orient Express. It was a bit hard to find it is down a small alley like side street with some boutiques but it was a fun stop on a night out. The pisco sours (and variations thereof are really tasty (and strong! We didn't eat there, so I can't comment on the food. The service was a bit slow, but they were apologetic for the wait. It isn't the best bar in Lima, and it isn't the most authentic, but the atmosphere is fun and the drinks are tasty.
Stayed in a hotel around the corner of the Orient Express Bar and wanted to visit as I had seen good reviews. First attempts to visit on a Monday evening, and although it indicates that it is open on Monday, it was closed. Return on a Friday night to find it very much open and pretty busy as it is a very small bar. The surroundings are beautiful to forget where you are and believe you are on an old and luxurious train. Cocktails are very good, and while a little on the expensive side for Peru, are comparable to what you expect to pay for a decent cocktail in any big Western Capital City. Really nice experience and would definitely visit again if in the area. It is remarkable that they serve not only beer cocktails and spirits.
