About Jailhouse Bar
220 Standing / Reception
Step behind the heavy doors of our former police station and discover where Shoreditch's most intriguing parties now unfold. The Jailhouse Bar occupies the ground floor of what was once Old Street's holding cells, where we've kept the original bars intact but swapped handcuffs for cocktail shakers. Those preserved cells have become our signature feature, transformed into intimate booths where guests settle in with drinks, surrounded by exposed brick walls that have witnessed over a century of London stories. Our bartenders work beneath elegant pendant lights, crafting innovative cocktails at a bar backed by bottles that catch the glow from our grand stained glass windows. During daylight hours, these towering windows flood the space with natural light, illuminating the rich blue bar stools and tufted leather seating that gives the room its sophisticated edge. We've arranged the space thoughtfully, mixing high tables perfect for networking with those unique cell booths for more private conversations. The contrast works brilliantly here, polished surfaces meeting raw brick, quirky artwork offsetting the building's serious past. With room for 220 standing guests, we regularly host everything from product launches to birthday celebrations, with the high ceilings ensuring the space never feels cramped even at capacity. Our kitchen provides full catering options, including halal, vegan and gluten-free dishes, served until our 11 PM license allows. Just moments from Old Street Station, guests find us easily, and many comment on how the venue's character sparks conversation throughout their events. The ground floor location means full wheelchair accessibility, while our on-site accommodation and parking add convenience for those planning longer celebrations. For private parties seeking something beyond typical bar hire, this unique Shoreditch space delivers both atmosphere and practicality in equal measure.

We had a fantastic evening at the Courthouse Hotel's Bowling alley. Eden helped us organizing the event with the venue and everything went as planned.
