FAQs about Small Bars in London
What events are London’s small bars suitable for?
London’s bars for small groups show great versatility, so your options are almost endless! If you’re planning any kind of a small party, from after work drinks to Christmas parties, you’ll love the selection. A birthday with your closest friends or family, corporate party for your small business, or dinner and drinks celebration? There are plenty of small bars with exclusive hire options, as well as more intimate private bar rooms. If you’re planning a bash that would benefit from vibrant surroundings, like a stag or hen party, you can hire a small mezzanine or bar area.
On top of that, small bars with audiovisual equipment can be a great alternative venue for professional events like meetings or smaller conferences. If that’s what you’re planning, consider venues like The Play Room at Bounce Old Street in Shoreditch, The Boardroom at The Alfred Tennyson in Belgravia, and the Cellar Bar at Sir Christopher Hatton near Chancery Lane Station.
How much does it cost to hire a small bar in London?
Most small bars available to book in London charge a minimum spend, and prices tend to range anywhere between £50 and £5,000. Minimum spend means you and your group will just have to spend a specific amount of money on drinks and snacks during your event, so it’s a very convenient option for parties! Some venues have straight hire fees, which start as low as £12 per session for a small bar for 25 people. You can also look for a bar with package deals, which is often a great solution for small groups. In London, offers usually vary from £10 to £40 per person, but more exclusive cocktail or wine bars like St Pancras by Searcys can reach up to £100 per head! (All data from Tagvenue.)
