This was simply the best choice. The Cellar Bar is beautiful and private and felt special even before my guests arrived. Fabulous central location, organisation was straightforward, the staff and management lovely and everyone said the food quality was outstanding.

Verified Reviews of Cocktail Party Venues in Bank
Location was easy to get to. The set up was professional. Everyone commented on how nice the venue was.
Very good, the reverb of the church is very nice, our performance is very successful, the staff moved the piano to the front of the stage with us.
The space is lovely and created a great atmosphere for our celebration. We had a party of 30, and given the occasion, it was always going to be fun. The food was good, and the wine options were plentiful and enjoyable, these definitely helped make the evening memorable.
Joe was extremely helpful, patient and flexible with my requirements and to ensure it was the best gathering for my birthday! The venue was very well-organised with great music and vibes, perfect for a celebration.
The food and service was great, the staff were helpful and kept us informed of the budget and was firm to keep within restrictions. We had a fab time and were allowed to play music and have singers in a beautiful setting.
Browns (Old Jewry) is the perfect location for a great party. We hosted over 200 people for my mum's sixtieth birthday in October and what makes this venue memorable is: - The friendly, efficient and welcoming staff: all staff members are extremely polite and helpful, ensuring the very best service for all guests. Guided by the hospitable Genti and Tad, the staff made a real impression with guests, and I was particularly impressed by Genti who made himself available (even on days off) to answer my queries over email, and even met my dad and I for a drink ahead of th eevent to discuss our requirements in detail. This was truly appreciated. - The atmosphere: The venue is beautifully decorated with very classy amenities and lighting, so I didn't need to bring anything to make the space "party ready". So many friends commented on the magnificence of the venue upon arrival, and I appreciated the fact that the staff were pleased to accommodate the last minute arrival of a photobooth. - The location: Just a short (2 minute) walk away from Bank Tube station, and a 10 minute taxi from London Bridge, this Browns is located in a perfect central location, allowing friends and family from all over the country to join in the special celebrations. - The impressive catering: We pre-ordered a finger food buffet to cater for 175, which was 1400 side plates and 400 sides. Despite the sheer volume of food, every plate was delciously prepared and hot when brought out, which is no small feat! Many guests complimented the taste of delicious dishes available.
I have had really good feedback from the people I booked this meeting room for. Great view, beautiful room and lounge.
