About Bar 1790 Basement Semi-Private
30 Banquet
50 Standing / Reception
Portuguese azulejo tiles catch the candlelight as your guests descend into our Bar 1790 Basement Semi-Private space, where the original stone walls that once protected George Sandeman's port barrels now create an intimate setting for groups of up to 30 seated or 50 standing. The long red banquette that lines the wall has become a favourite spot for birthday groups who love how the patterned backrest creates perfect photo opportunities, while the mirrored walls make even smaller gatherings feel expansive. Our basement retains the cool temperature that made it perfect for storing port two centuries ago, though now it keeps champagne chilled and conversations flowing. The herringbone flooring guides guests naturally between the wooden tables where we serve Toby's famous cod croquettes, and the compact bar area where our bartenders shake up Sandeman Sours using recipes inspired by the vintage port posters decorating the walls. Corporate groups particularly appreciate how the semi-private nature allows them to maintain the energy of the main bar while having their own defined space for presentations or toasts. The acoustics down here work brilliantly, whether you're giving a speech from beside the bar or letting the conversation flow naturally around the tables. We've hosted everything from 40th birthday parties where guests sampled ports from the birthday year, to engagement celebrations that spilled joyfully between our space and the main bar above. Just three minutes from Cannon Street Station, groups often extend their bookings once they settle into the plush red chairs and start exploring our Portuguese wine list. The basement's versatile layout means we can arrange seating for formal dinners or clear space for cocktail receptions, always ensuring the historic character of these former barrel stores enhances rather than constrains your celebration.
