About this space

Exclusively available for private hire, Basement Sate is one of Soho's most atmospheric hidden venues, a low-lit basement cocktail bar that makes every occasion feel genuinely special.

Set beneath the streets of Soho, the space combines raw exposed brickwork with rich, considered furnishings: dark wood panelled snugs, copper-topped tables, green leather seating and bespoke furniture by Fleming and Howland. The result is an atmosphere closer to a beautifully designed living room than a conventional event space, intimate, grown-up, and effortlessly stylish.

Ideal for birthday celebrations, leaving drinks, corporate socials, client entertaining, and any group occasion where atmosphere matters. Capacity for up to 120 guests, with a strong cocktail offering and a tucked-away Soho address that gives every booking a hidden-gem feel.

Central enough to be easy. Special enough to be memorable.

We recently held our event at this hidden gem in the heart of Central London and were really pleased with the experience. The venue is stylish, with a great selection of drinks, and the staff were friendly and very accommodating. Even with our event’s varied activities, they helped ensure everything went smoothly. A lovely spot for anyone looking for a unique setting and good service!
