About This Pub
Ah, The Chapel Bar – it's one of those places that really knows how to pull off a great night out, isn't it? From what I've gathered chatting about it with mates, it's spot on for special occasions like birthdays or weddings, where the team bends over backwards to tailor everything to your needs. The terrace and saloon areas are just lovely, with comfy seating, a dance floor, and a fully stocked bar that serves up cracking cocktails and food that'll have you coming back for more. It's got that perfect mix of stylish yet cosy vibes, making it ideal for groups of all sizes. On the flip side, though, it's not the best for spontaneous visits – it's geared more towards planned events, so you might find it a tad quiet or unavailable if you're just wandering in. The hours can be a bit limiting too, kicking off in the evening and not every day, which means it's not always handy for a relaxed afternoon session. All in all, if you're after a reliable spot for a proper knees-up with excellent service, it's worth a punt, but keep in mind it might not suit every outing.
Pros and Cons
Pros
-
The staff are absolutely brilliant – folks like Luke go above and beyond to make your event seamless, from planning to the big day itself.
-
It's a fantastic spot for celebrations, with versatile spaces like the terrace and saloon that cater brilliantly to parties, weddings, or corporate dos, creating a warm and lively atmosphere.

-
The venue has a great vibe, blending stylish decor with a welcoming feel, perfect for making memories whether you're hosting a group or just popping in for a drink.
Cons
-
It seems more focused on private hires and events, so if you're after a casual pint without booking, it might not always feel as accessible.
-
With operating hours starting late in the evening and only open five days a week, it could be tricky for those wanting a quick after-work stop or weekend daytime vibes.
-
Being a moderate price spot, it might stretch the budget a bit for everyday outings, especially if you're planning something larger.

Booked a company social here on the terrace area and had a great time. Luke was super helpful with the organisation prior to the event and service on the day was seamless. Good vibes and would definitely revisit. Thanks Chapel Bar team!
Had a wonderful 30th birthday at The Chapel Bar, we hosted the party upstairs in the Terrace Room and guests loved the venue. Perfect indoor/outdoor setting and great for my guests (40-50 people). Luke & Ross were fantastic help and even provided personalised bar menus - they answered all of my questions and were super supportive. Brilliant venue with fantastic owners, would highly recommend!
We had our wedding party celebration here. We organised it all from Valencia where we live and from the beginning Luke was just amazing with all the contact and support back and forth. On the day the atmosphere,food,service was just impeccable, honestly we couldn't have asked for more! The nicest people professional, kind warm and just an amazing time was had by everyone. The food was just so delicious, dynamic and really tasty, they did amazing cocktails, I could go on forever, thankyou thankyou!
I held a corporate event here, a lunch for International women’s day. The venue created a bespoke sharing menu for me and my guests and the venue was set up and decorated beautifully. The food was absolutely delicious and the drinks and service just perfect. This is the second year running I have held this event here and both times it has been excellent. I would highly recommend the Chapel Bar for any private events and find their costs very reasonable for central London too. Luke and Alex were super helpful in the run up to the event and we are really looking forward to holding our next event with them. Thanks Team Chapel!
We had an incredible Wedding Reception at The Chapel Bar, Luke was super accommodating, allowing us to customise our event to the fullest extent with our own decoration and bespoke food & drinks menus, which were delicious. The DJ organised by the venue did a great job and Daniel & the rest of the team were amazing on the day, service was exceptional and it couldn't have gone smoother. Thank you all for a wonderful experience!
