London’s bar scene is as eclectic and exciting as it has ever been. The capital has it all, from hotel lounges steeped in history to hidden speakeasies, as well as some of the world’s most awarded cocktail bars that can be found here. So if you love a slice of luxury, a good martini, or the buzz and atmosphere of a high-end bar, take a look through our list of the best bars for hire in London, and start organising your next event.
Popping into your local haunt is a good way to sample some delicious drinks, but for those planning something a little bigger, you may want to look into hiring a bar for exclusive use. The rules vary between venues, with a few only offering exclusive hire, and others letting you choose a specific area at the bar for smaller groups. For example, some hotels listed will allow you to hire the whole hotel bar, whilst a selection of restaurants in the list will have a hidden area that you can book for an evening (allowing for something a little more intimate). Each option comes with its benefits, such as booking in a restaurant guaranteeing some decent grub alongside the extensive list of drinks available.
As for live music and entertainment, plenty of venues have this covered too. Lots of bars for hire have live music playing most evenings, whilst others are famous for their colourful, no-holds-barred fun and entertainment. Alternatively, there is also often the option to book your own entertainment, allowing you to plan the perfect bespoke event whether it be to celebrate an anniversary or hold a networking event.
At these bars you can be involved with organising as little or as much as you’d like, the only thing you need to do is pick one. So take a look through our favourites for bar hire in London, and get the ball rolling.
