Private dining at The Little Neon Door in Shoreditch is like taking over the coolest flatshare in Shoreditch. Hidden on Old Street, this award-winning bar and restaurant has built its reputation on recreating the atmosphere of an unforgettable house party, with quirky interiors, inventive cocktails and food designed for sharing.
The venue spans two floors and five distinct spaces, allowing groups to choose a setting that suits the occasion. Smaller gatherings can settle into the Sitting Room, a cosy space centred around a statement fireplace and relaxed seating, while larger dinner parties and celebrations often gravitate towards the Kitchen and Living Room. Just like the best house parties, this is where everyone naturally ends up. Complete with a graffiti-covered Smeg fridge, a long library bar and a central kitchen island, it comfortably accommodates larger groups and transforms into a lively dancefloor later in the evening.
For something more playful, the Games Room offers a private bar, DJ station and giant screen loaded with Nintendo 64 games, alongside ping pong, table football and board games. There's even a karaoke dressing room next door that can be reserved privately. If you're planning a summer gathering, the colourful terrace provides an alfresco option in the middle of Shoreditch, while exclusive hire of the entire venue allows up to 300 guests to enjoy the full house-party experience.
Rather than formal fine dining, food menus lean into crowd-pleasing dishes designed to get people talking. Guests can graze on tapas-style plates such as wild mushroom, taleggio and truffle arancini, Neon Gildas with anchovy and Gordal olives, and homemade crisps topped with jamón and smoked aioli. The pizza menu features combinations such as crispy duck with hoisin and pickled cucumber on the What the Duck?, alongside the indulgent Every Day I'm Trufflin', topped with wild mushrooms, parmesan and crispy shallots.
Drinks are just as memorable. Inspired by the venue's nostalgic DVD collection, cocktails arrive in everything from vases to disco balls and trophies, adding another layer of fun to your event.
