Forget the usual venues - Barts is a total escape into the 1929 Prohibition era, making it the top, secret location in Chelsea for private parties and classy work events. Step into Uncle Barts’ hideout. The vibe is sultry and mysterious, set by genuine vintage furniture that we can easily shift around to fit your event perfectly. We serve up great, crafty cocktails with waiters on hand; the license hours are flexible depending on the night you book. For food, we offer everything from great canapés to small plates. We have all the audio gear you need - speakers, microphones, and a DJ desk- or you can just plug in your own Spotify. We love hosting live bands and magicians, too (that’s an extra charge, though). Just remember a few house rules: it’s a smart/casual dress code, and everyone needs to be 21+. We are near Sloane Square/South Kensington, but because the place is old, there's no disabled access.
