About Old Red Cow
Right around the corner from Barbican Station on Long Lane, we've been pouring pints and hosting parties at The Old Red Cow for years. Our traditional wooden floors creak with character, and the timber furnishings throughout give our pub that proper London feel that regulars and first-timers alike appreciate. We're particularly proud of our upstairs function room, which transforms brilliantly for private celebrations. Birthday parties tend to spill between the function space and our main bar downstairs, while corporate groups often prefer keeping things contained upstairs with their own dedicated area. We've hosted everything from small wedding receptions to company Christmas parties up there, and the separate space means your group can celebrate without competing with the regular pub crowd below. Our kitchen turns out proper pub grub throughout the week, with Sunday lunches being especially popular among locals who book tables weeks in advance. Behind the bar, we keep an eclectic mix of beers on tap alongside wines and spirits that range from everyday favorites to interesting finds our bar manager brings in. The downstairs bar stays lively most evenings, with after-work crowds from nearby offices mixing with Smithfield locals. Getting here couldn't be easier - we're at 71 Long Lane, just a quick walk from Barbican Station. Open seven days a week, we welcome walk-ins downstairs while our function room operates on a booking basis. The combination of our central location, traditional pub atmosphere, and flexible event space makes us a reliable choice for groups looking to gather somewhere with genuine character rather than another sterile venue. Whether you're planning a milestone birthday or need somewhere for your team's quarterly drinks, we'll sort you out with good food, proper drinks, and a space that feels like a real London pub should.
