About Private Room & Bar 1st Floor
45 Banquet
100 Standing / Reception
Books suspended from our first-floor ceiling create an unexpected canopy above your guests at the Private Room & Bar 1st Floor, where literature meets celebration in the heart of Clerkenwell. This distinctive space transforms from a sun-drenched gathering spot by day to an atmospheric party venue by night, with floor-to-ceiling windows framing views of St John's Square below. Your own private bar anchors the room, where our bartenders craft cocktails using house-infused spirits while your guests settle into plush booths or gather around high stools. The dark wood finishes and carefully placed lighting create pockets of intimacy even when you're hosting up to 100 standing guests, though we find the sweet spot for seated dinners hovers around 45 to 50 people. Corporate teams book this space for presentations that flow naturally into celebrations, using our audio-visual facilities before the cocktails take centre stage. Birthday parties tend to claim every corner, with groups moving between the booth seating and the bar as the night progresses. The flexibility works brilliantly for wedding parties too, where toasts echo off the book-lined ceiling and dance floors emerge wherever there's space. Our kitchen sends up custom canapés and those same handcrafted pizzas that disappear so quickly downstairs, keeping energy high throughout your event. The proximity to both Farringdon and Barbican stations means guests arrive easily and, perhaps more importantly after a night of our signature cocktails, find their way home just as smoothly. What makes this room special goes beyond the whimsical book installation or the dedicated bar service. It's how the natural light shifts throughout an afternoon event, how the space adapts to whatever celebration you're planning, and how that literary atmosphere adds something unexpected to every gathering we host up here.
