Lounge Bar at Apples & Pears
About this space
Located just a short walk from Aldgate East station and close to Brick Lane and Spitalfields, this East London lounge bar offers a relaxed, flexible space for private hire. With both full venue and partial rentals available, it’s well-suited for casual celebrations, team gatherings, and milestone events.
The venue features a modern lounge-style setup with access to an outdoor area, adjustable lighting, and air conditioning to keep guests comfortable year-round. Music is fully customisable, where you can bring a playlist, hire a DJ, or use in-house equipment to set the tone.
Guests are welcome to bring cakes, snacks, or finger food, and decoration is allowed with a few seasonal exceptions. A wood-fired pizza menu is available to pre-order, and the bar serves a wide selection of cocktails, beers, spirits, and wines. A personalised drinks menu can be arranged at no extra charge.
The space is managed by a small, experienced team that’ll help coordinate details before and during your event. Security and a dedicated point of contact are provided in your booking.
Nearby public transport and local landmarks make this an accessible and familiar choice for guests coming from across London.
