As a heritage student bar (open since 1882, but given a lovely fresh facelift in 2022!) we can offer private events at rates (and drinks prices) that are unheard of in London. The bars unique layout means that it is suitable for both smaller parties, and larger 'club night' style events. For 50-80 people guests enjoy banquettes and communal bench style tables to cosy-up to their nearest and dearest for drinks and delicious food (buffet or Freshly made sourdough pizzas). For 80-300 people, we move the furniture to the outer and clear the dance floor! A professional sound and lighting system, and AV set up for professional DJ's means you can party well into the night! Cloakroom facility available. Come one, come all - we'll show you a good time!
Guys Bar can be exclusively hired on weekends and during term breaks (June - Mid Sept, and again for the weeks prior to Christmas). we work on a minimum spend of £3.5K (inc vat), and this includes exclusive use of the space, professional bar, kitchen and security staff and a shift leader.

Food needs to be pre-ordered, and we can provide you a full menu of buffets in a range of cuisines, hot platters, canapes, sourdough pizza (made fresh in house), as well as sides and salads. Our Bar is stoked with all of your favourites and includes a range of premium minerals, craft beers and top shelf spirits. We can run a bar tab, and provide your guests vouchers. In regard to design, Guys Bar is a modern, casual space with a range of seating from communal style tables to cosy banquettes that hug the dance floor. We have a DJ booth (DJ can be hired for £300 surcharge) and club style sound system. Most furniture is portable, so we can move it aside to make way for an epic dance floor.

January 2025I had a green tea, then returned for a bottle of water. There’s not much rating one can give a plain green tea and still water but I give them 5 stars nonetheless because I really want the lady who served me, Palak, to be given the credit I feel she deserves. To start, when I ordered my green tea, Palak served it within two cups (one cup inside the other) without even asking. Why did this deserve 5 stars? Because, I had been to the cafe twice in previous weeks and was served by other members of staff. Both times, I asked for a sleeve since the tea was scalding hot to hold and was told they didn’t have them. It didn’t occur to either member of staff to offer what Palak did without being asked. I can only assume others’ have been in the same situation as I was and Palak clearly took heed of the trend, and more importantly, took the initiative to make my experience as stress and pain-free as possible. So, I already liked Palak because of that transaction... But THEN, I visited the cafe a couple of hours later for a bottle of water. Why 5 stars? Because Palak asked, “Would you like a bottle at room temperature, or a cold one from the fridge?” I imagine the cafe has seen quite a few dental cases and assume Palak used that experience to ensure her customers really felt acknowledged, understood and valued. As Palak should be. Having the type of insight Palak obviously has is something management should most certainly look out for in any future employees but, to use that insight as subtly yet beautifully as Palak did is a true sign of leadership. These two seemingly small gestures tell a lot about work ethic, passion, drive and competence. Palak showed a high standard in all. Palak, thank you for making my tasteless water and green tea magical 🤗
