The Guinness Vaults at Guinness Open Gate Brewery stands as one of Covent Garden’s most exciting private dining destinations. Tucked beneath the historic cobbled streets, these newly created spaces blend atmospheric design with cutting-edge technology, setting the scene for memorable dinners with friends, family or colleagues.
Set within Old Brewer’s Yard, the Vaults sit at the heart of Guinness’s new London home, where a working microbrewery, restaurants and immersive visitor experiences come together under one roof. For private dining, guests can choose between two striking spaces, each showcasing exposed brickwork, industrial features and a moody, intimate ambience.
The Bottle Room is the larger of the two. This dramatic space features floor-to-ceiling immersive screens, ideal for impactful presentations, sports screenings or creative entertainment during an evening celebration. A statement bar serves exclusive beers brewed on site, alongside premium wines, cocktails and low-alcohol options.
For something more intimate, the Barrel Room offers a warm and characterful setting inspired by the Guinness story. With its own bar and lounge-style seating, it is perfect for relaxed drinks before sitting down to dine.
Guests can enjoy a handpicked set menu created by the culinary team, featuring signature dishes from the wider brewery’s dining destinations. Expect generous sharing plates, chargrilled meats, vibrant vegetables, seafood and freshly baked pies, all served with the same craft and care as the brewery’s beers. Dietary requirements are happily catered for, and bespoke menus can be arranged on request.
Whether you are hosting a milestone birthday, a family get-together, a client dinner or a team celebration, the Vaults offer a fully enclosed private space that feels both exclusive and atmospheric. With flexible layouts, a private bar and attentive hospitality, this unique Covent Garden venue delivers an unforgettable private dining experience in the heart of Central London.
