Booked The Gallery Bar at De Hems Pub

4.7

The space was great, the food was lush (though it might be helpful to have labels for plates so veggies were aware of meat content), the service from the two members of staff upstairs was top shelf and felt very accommodated with simple and attentive set up for the microphone and speakers use. They were also very accommodating for different payment methods! We felt very lucky to book such a great space at such a decent cost so short notice and this close to Christmas! Thank you so much!

Booked Spritz 20 guests at LOCKES Bar Covent Garden

4.8

The staff were very professional. The venue was perfect for our gathering and as our reserved area was close to the door, it was lovely for guests to be able to sit outside without being distanced from the rest of the group. Myself and my husband went to Lockes Bar on Friday evening just to check everything was in order for our reservation and Will and his team were very friendly and assured us that everything was in order.

This was a great venue for a party for about 60 people. Space for people to sit as well as dance and sing. The projector worked well for karaoke. Decent range of drinks. The buffet food was very good and the staff looked after us really well.

Booked Dark & Stormy 60 guests at LOCKES Bar Covent Garden

4.7

A great spot for a birthday party, with private bar/staff. Was expecting average "bar food" level food that you get at a lot of non restaurants, but was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the pizzas which were all very good. Bar staff happy to accommodate bespoke requests without fuss. Would recommend for a similar sized group (30-40ish)
