The Champagne Bar at 116 Pall Mall by Searcys is one of London’s most atmospheric underground drinking and dining destinations. Set beneath the Grade I listed building, this hidden gem is reached through the original iron gate cellar doors before opening into a striking vaulted space of exposed brick arches, parquet flooring and warm ambient lighting. A long wood-topped bar curves through the room, surrounded by velvet seating and intimate nooks that make it ideal for relaxed drinks, pre-theatre meet-ups or elegant evenings with friends or colleagues.
Searcys is renowned for its Champagne expertise, and the bar offers one of the largest selections of magnums in London. Guests can explore Brut, Demi-Sec and rose options alongside a curated list of bottles from classic houses, including Moet et Chandon, Drappier, and Dom Perignon. The drinks menu also features cocktails, wines, spirits and soft drinks, ensuring there is something for every palate.
Food is centred around refined bar bites and small plates that pair naturally with Champagne. Nibbles include smoked almonds, olives, truffle and parmesan chips and warm flatbreads topped with garlic and parsley or nduja yoghurt and lemon. Small plates range from wild mushroom mozzarella arancini and buttermilk fried chicken to North Atlantic crevettes served with dill and lemon mayonnaise. Sharing options include a meze plate with babaganoush, hummus and falafels, British charcuterie with cheeses and pickles or a British cheese board with crackers and chutneys, while macarons offer a light, sweet finish.
Located just moments from Haymarket theatres and Regent Street, The Champagne Bar at 116 Pall Mall is perfectly placed for pre-show drinks, weekend catch-ups or celebratory evenings. With its historic cellar setting, polished drinks selection and relaxed shareable dishes, it brings an indulgent yet welcoming feel to any occasion.
