Bars for Hire in London That Don’t Do Average
Loud birthdays. Quiet toasts. Long Fridays that turn into early Saturdays.
You’re looking for a bar that can take what you’ve got planned and run with it. Pub back rooms that don’t pretend to be something else. We’ll show you the bars that stay open late, serve fast, and know when to step in…or back off.
100% Free Matchmaking.
No Fees. No Fuss.
We believe your special moments should come without a price tag. Our services are entirely free for you — we earn through the venues, not from you.
Great Bars Come with a Bit of History
Some have hosted 21sts, 40ths, staff parties, and wake parties – all in the same month.
The best bars don’t just open their doors. They’ve seen things. They know when to dim the lights or swap the playlist because it’s drifting off.
We send you places that have time-tested experience in hosting events like yours.
Not brand-new shells. Not soulless event rooms with a fridge in the corner.
You want a bar that knows how to hold a crowd and doesn’t flinch when someone climbs on a chair during a toast.
None of That “Semi-Private” Nonsense
We talk about real private hire bars in London.
Spaces where the bar is yours. The music is yours. Your mates can spill out onto the terrace without strange looks.
We only work with bars that hand over the space fully. Full room, full bar, full control.
Some have minimum spends. Some don’t. Some will push last orders by 10pm. Some won’t blink if you bring a cake and a saxophonist at 10pm.
We know the spots that keep the energy up once the sun drops.
Pub Function Rooms That Keep It Casual
Want something that’s more pint and pie than gin fizz and garnish?
We’ve got pub function rooms in London that stay true to what makes pubs great. No need to tiptoe around linen cloths or pretend you’re at a wedding.
The pubs we offer ooze the essence of what true pub culture is like in the UK.
They’re pubs where the playlist rolls at full volume, where the food’s wholesome and the bar stays open as long as you need it.
Rooftop Spots That Don’t Turn Off at Sunset
If you’re after rooftop bar hire in London, we’ll tell you what’s good. And what only looks good in filtered daylight.
There are rooftops with actual bars, not setups that feel like someone borrowed a balcony.
No gimmicky terraces that close at 9. No pop‑up vibes that vanish in rain.
We know rooftops with heaters, lights that stay on, and staff who’ll let the first person order past 10pm.
Themes, Tastings, Thrills
Run a cocktail class.
Host a beer-paired dinner.
Plug in the mic for stand-up, speeches, or that one mate who won’t shut up.
The bars we work with aren’t bare rooms. They’ve got built-in gear, working sound, room to move, and staff who don’t get flustered when you push the format.
You Pick the Idea. We’ll Sort the Place.
Birthday. Hen-do. Christmas catch-up. Staff lunch. Stag party ale tasting.
Whatever. Just tell us the kind of evening you want, and we’ll come back with a shortlist that works.
Bars that can pour, seat, split, rotate. Spots with a stage, a mic, a pizza menu if needed.
You get a proper bar, not a venue faking it.
Bars for Hire in London FAQs
We only work with bars for hire in London that offer proper private hire. If you’re booking through us, you’re not sharing the space with strangers. You get full access.

Yes, within reason. Most bars are open to DJs, performers, photo booths, or stylists, as long as they’re told in advance. We’ll check what’s allowed before you book, so there are no awkward surprises on the day.
This depends on the licence. Some places can go past 1am. Some wrap at midnight. We’ll let you know up front so you’re not squinting at the fine print the night before.
