About

The Hercules Pillars is a British pub on Great Queen Street in Holborn, a short walk from Holborn and Covent Garden stations. It offers two private hire spaces for dinners and celebrations, with capacity for up to 50 seated guests (or 70 standing). 

The Function Room sits below the main floor and has its own private bar, giving guests an exclusive space to socialise separately from the main pub. The room is able to host 50 for a private dinner, with space for up to 70 guests at a standing reception. The Function Room has hosted a wide range of events, from sports viewings to intimate celebrations such as birthdays and engagement parties, and its layout suits both seated group meals and larger drinks receptions.

The Booth Area is located within the main bar, offering a more informal, semi-private setting while still being part of the venue's wider atmosphere. It seats 10 guests for dining, or up to 20 at a standing reception, with plush leather seating and personal TVs at each booth. This makes it a popular choice for sports nights, presentations, or smaller gatherings that want a bit of separation without a fully private room.

The kitchen serves British pub food and offers a selection of menus for private bookings. Bar bites, platters, traditional mains and pizzas are perfect for sharing and feasting, or for something more relaxed, the team can organise sharing platters (think meat, veggie and vegan offerings). 

Both spaces are available for private hire and suit a range of occasions, including birthdays, engagement parties, corporate gatherings, presentations and sports screenings, for groups looking for either a fully private room or a semi-private space within a lively pub setting.

Testimonials for The Hercules Pillars

The food is consistently greatJULY, 2026

Great place for lunch, dinner or casual drinks. The service is excellent. I regularly see John, Jade and Tom, who are brilliant, as is the rest of the team. The food is consistently great, and I highly recommend the short rib. I’ve also visited for evening drinks several times and was delighted to discover that they serve pizzas all night!

Would definitely recommendMARCH, 2026

I had a really great time at this pub and would definitely recommend it. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a perfect place to relax with friends after a long day. It has a nice balance between being lively and comfortable, so you can enjoy the vibe without it feeling too crowded or noisy. The service was excellent throughout the evening. The staff were very friendly, attentive, and always smiling. They made us feel welcome from the moment we walked in and were happy to help whenever we needed anything. It’s clear that they genuinely care about their customers and creating a good experience. The beer quality was also very good. Everything we ordered tasted fresh and was served at the right temperature. You can tell they take good care of their drinks and maintain a good standard behind the bar. There’s also a nice variety of beers to choose from, which is great if you like trying different options. Overall, it’s a great pub with great service, quality drinks, and a friendly atmosphere. I’ll definitely be coming back again.
