About Upstairs Room
250 Standing / Reception
Victorian brass and polished wood greet you as you climb the stairs to our Upstairs Room, where MPs' portraits share wall space with those famous etched mirrors that have watched Westminster's dramas unfold since 1875. This mezzanine space sits right above the main bar at St Stephen's Tavern, giving your party its own private corner of history while staying connected to the buzz below. The coffered ceilings draw your eye upward, their intricate designs catching the warm light from period brass lamps. We've kept the original banquette seating along the walls, reupholstered in deep burgundy that complements the rich wood finishes throughout. With space for up to 250 guests standing, the room flows naturally for drinks receptions, though we can also arrange it for more intimate gatherings. Your guests can help themselves to our full menu of pub classics, those fish and chips that Westminster workers queue for at lunch, plus our rotating pie selection and proper beef burgers. The bar stocks Badger and Outland beers on draught, alongside wines we've chosen specifically to pair with British food. Our staff know when to be present and when to fade into the background, something we've perfected over decades of hosting everything from birthday parties to retirement send-offs. Being directly above Westminster Underground means your guests can arrive easily from anywhere in London. Big Ben's chimes drift through the windows, reminding everyone they're drinking in the shadow of Parliament. The space works equally well for corporate celebrations, family gatherings, or those milestone birthdays that deserve somewhere with a bit more character than your average function room. We operate on a straightforward room fee and minimum spend basis, keeping things simple so you can focus on your celebration.
