Looking for a late-night, atmospheric venue in London? City Arts Bar combines design-led interiors, an extensive cocktail offering and flexible event spaces, with exclusive hire available for up to 220 seated guests or 250 standing. It works well for everything from corporate parties and milestone birthdays to drinks receptions.
For smaller gatherings, the private bar offers a more intimate alternative for up to 30 standing. Tucked away from the main space, it comes with its own bartender, independent music system and television, giving hosts plenty of control over the mood of the event. Leather booth seating, curtains and small orange table lamps create a cosy, low-lit setting to spend the evening.
Drinks are central to the experience at City Arts Bar, with talented mixologists on hand to create bespoke packages for private events. Signature cocktails include the Amnesty and the Cherry Tree. Familiar classics such as Margaritas, Daiquiris, Palomas and Manhattans feature alongside wines by the glass or bottle, beer, freshly pressed juices, tea and coffee. The spirits list is extensive too, spanning single malt and blended whiskies, bourbon, rye, brandy, cognac, rum and agave, giving hosts plenty of scope to tailor the drinks offering to your event. When it comes to food options, City Arts Bar keeps it informal with bar snacks, sharing platters and seasonal canape menus. Be sure to enquire with the venue about organising bespoke options to suit your event.
With an integrated sound system and facilities for DJs, live music and other entertainment, City Arts Bar works well for lively evening events, while its dark, 1970s-inspired interiors provide a memorable backdrop. A large wraparound bar anchors the room, while outside, a terrace complete with fire pit provides another relaxed area for entertaining.
