About Balfour Bar
20 Boardroom
20 Theatre
40 Standing / Reception
The Balfour Bar sits perched on our upper mezzanine, a private haven that catches the morning light streaming through windows overlooking Smithfield Market. We've watched this space transform from quiet morning meetings to buzzing evening celebrations, and it never fails to impress with its versatility. Step inside and you'll find yourself in an intimate setting where exposed brick meets contemporary furnishings. The room holds up to 45 guests for standing receptions, though we often set it for 20 in boardroom style when teams need to hunker down for strategy sessions. Our private bar runs along one wall, fully stocked and ready for everything from coffee service to craft cocktails, depending on what your event calls for. We've equipped the space thoughtfully over the years. The flatscreen TV connects easily to laptops via HDMI and USB ports, making presentations straightforward. Our surround sound system means everyone catches every word during speeches, and when evening comes, it sets just the right mood for celebration. The wooden tables and plush seating can be configured however works best, whether that's clusters for networking or a single long table for birthday dinners. Being up on the mezzanine gives the Balfour Bar its own energy, separate from the main brewery buzz below. Corporate teams book it for away days, using the natural light and market views to spark fresh thinking. Come evening, we've hosted everything from engagement parties to product launches, each taking advantage of that exclusive bar access and the atmosphere that only a working brewery can provide. The walk from Barbican, St Paul's or Farringdon stations takes just minutes, and once your guests arrive, our team ensures everything flows smoothly from first drink to final toast.
