FAQs about Top 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.

Booked The Backstage Room at Star by Liverpool Street

5.0

Staff were excellent on the night, supported with all requests and even went out of their way to set up a louder music system. My guests had a great time, and appreciated having a bar in the room so they weren’t having to go up and down the stairs.

Great space, service was outstanding, great to have our own private bar. We managed to set up a vinyl player to the PA system, and generally had a wonderful time! Thanks to the Broadleaf team for supporting us !

Booked The Cocktail Lounge at Studio48 Bar & Kitchen

4.7

Space was lovely and big - I’d say bigger than the pictures suggest and was nicely decorated. The majority of staff were super lovely, friendly and helpful. The DJ / music choice was amazing! I had prepped my own playlists but didn’t feel the need to even use it. Food came out on time! All in all I’d return back here for sure. I had the best evening.

Booked Whole Venue at Prosecco House

5.0

They made sure that my guests and my night was special throughout. The choice of Prosecco and cocktails is great - as well as the selection of canapés (meat and vegetarian options) which went down well with all my friends and family. Kristina was a huge help whilst organising the event and made the lead up to the night seamless and enjoyable. A huge thank you to Kristina, your team and the dj on the night.

Booked The Party Room at The Regent

5.0

Such an amazing place to have a birthday party. Not only is the staff super supportive and helpful in the organization process but also during the night they were great! The vibe upstairs is fun and relaxed and the basement downstairs is the perfect size for a dancing party, the kareoke machine was an added bonus that made the night very lively ! Loved it
