About this space

inamo has always been inspired by technology, great food, and interactive fun. The Onyx Room is the next stage of our evolution – bringing a unique private area to the heart of Soho with its own bar and semi -private dining options. Double wall projections span more than 150 inches, there’s a choice of over 150 games on popular games consoles, and up to 8 players can game simultaneously. Yes, it’s massive.

For an evening with your colleagues or a birthday party with a difference the Onyx Room is the perfect location. Featuring 2 x PS4s, 2 x Wiis, and Atari gold for retro games, with Chromecast & Apple TV, you can play, drink, eat, sing(!), watch TV (e.g. live sports), and even project your own content onto the walls for a private presentation, screening, or just showing off your favourite images, videos & music. Perhaps just a games night taking on your mates at Fifa18 on one projector, and watching a live football match on the second, or Wii tennis and a Grand Slam? Or how about some karaoke with Singstar and Eurovision?

Such has been the popularity and the 5 star reviews from our guests for the Games Room that we've created the Onyx Room at inamo Covent Garden. With 2 giant 65 inch screens, similar gaming options, and all set within a setting of beautiful back-lit onyx panels. The big sister to our Soho private room offers larger capacities for seated dining and mixed standing & seated receptions, again with it's own private bar.

The Onyx Room is bookable for 2 hours 45 minutes sessions with fixed minimum spends for each time slot. We also offer a selection of amazing packages to maximise your time gaming, not ordering! Our packages can be seen below.

Stag Party · 9 guests · September 2025
Great concept, to have food and drinks in a private area, with games and TV screens. A good space, and the food was very good!
Drinks were very overpriced and a service charge was applied to the entire bill despite most of the drinks being right there at the bar with no service particularly required. The minimum spend could have been adapted to our smaller group in my opinion. Consoles and games could be updated to more modern versions.

I had my partner’s 50th birthday at The Onyx Bar. It was absolute perfection from start to finish. The service was impeccable and the food was delicious! Highly recommended.

Corporate Party · 15 guests · May 2022
Food tasted good. The waiters were very attentive and very helpful. Overall a good experience. My colleagues enjoyed the evening especially our colleague who was leaving for whom we held the party for.
Venue is too dark for me, could do with a dimmer switch to get it brighter while eating. Will be nice to see your food properly while eating them, then light could be adjusted later when just having drinks. I asked for food to be served at 18:15 but was not ready, first batch of food was served at 18:40ish. I was expecting a buffet where all food were on the table labeled so those who are vegetarian will know which ones they are. Also 2 of my selected dishes were not available and I was made to choose for replacement dishes while we were eating already. Hot food was not very warm. Mics were not working properly but were sorted when you ask them.

30th Birthday Party · 50 guests · December 2021
We had such an amazing time and our host and bar staff was amazing. Omg we didn’t know the buffet was going to be that much we had a lot of extras over so everyone got to taste everything. The food was delicious especially the pork belly. She was so surprised and really enjoyed her night. Thank you once again for everything and already being so quick with your responses.
WiFi didn’t work and Reception was really bad, we had to come upstairs to get reception.

About Inamo Covent Garden

The exciting new Inamo Covent Garden opening sees state of the art tablet-based ordering systems and interactive animated table-top projections. Sumptuous décor includes glowing onyx panels, clusters of bamboo, and a stunning lighting system that subtly adjusts to match the interactive table projections or to suit private events.

The chic Onyx bar & sushi bar is downstairs with private dining spaces above. Serving high-quality pan-Asian cuisine centred around sharing plates, with delicious dishes including Ponzu Salmon Ceviche, Korean Lamb and Hot Stone Rib-Eye; Inamo’s food is as much a talking point as the technology surrounding it.

You will have use of the 2 screens in there to play on the playstation's, wii's and karaoke!

You can also connect your phone, IPad or laptop via Chrome Cast & Apple TV to screen videos, show images, use of the spotify inbuilt into the smart tv or host presentations. You can also use the same connection to put your own music on if you like.

Inamo Covent Garden is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.
