The Downstairs Cocktail Bar at LOCKES Bar Covent Garden
About this space
The Downstairs Cocktail Bar is a cocktail bar in LOCKES Bar Covent Garden. The space's most distinctive quality is a compact, subterranean layout that keeps events private and separate from street activity.
Design: The room has low ceilings, warm amber lighting, a neon 'LOCKES' wall sign, plush velvet armchairs and banquette seating arranged around small round tables for a snug lounge layout.
Features: A staffed bar serves a curated cocktail list, bottled beers and a selection of wines. An on-site kitchen produces pizzas and bar food that can be served at tables or at the bar. The space includes air conditioning and complimentary Wi‑Fi and allows flexible furniture arrangements for seated or standing formats.
Ideal for: Small social groups seeking a relaxed, conversational drinks reception in a lounge-style setting.
What sets it apart: A built-in PA and a small dancefloor allow a private DJ or music-driven party without hiring external sound kit.
What guests say: The space presents a modern, thoughtfully curated atmosphere that encourages lingering conversation. The lighting and seating are consistently experienced as comfortable and conversation-friendly.
