About this space

Twice crowned the world’s best restaurant cocktail bar, Spitalfields Bar is a space full of character and stories. As Hawksmoor’s original late-night venue, it captures the attitude, warmth, and charm that make Hawksmoor truly unique.

Tucked beneath our Spitalfields restaurant, the bar champions all things Hawksmoor – exceptional cocktails, delicious food, welcoming hospitality, and a beautifully distinctive interior – creating an atmospheric space perfect for unforgettable private gatherings. The legendary basement bar features vintage brass and mirrored wall panelling, a striking copper-topped bar, and deep leather booths nestled within the underground arches.

Spitalfields Bar is available for exclusive hire – ideal for private functions, corporate events, Christmas parties, or for marking those special milestones in style.
There's room for 20–30 guests seated or 30–70 standing, with availability Monday to Saturday, day and evening. Our legendary basement bar features its own dedicated entrance and a private bar, with capacity for DJs and live music.

Our menus are designed with groups in mind, featuring Hawksmoor’s signature dry-aged steaks, sustainable British seafood, and carefully sourced seasonal ingredients. Choose from canapés, bowl food, or large sharing cuts – all complemented by our award-winning cocktails. Our wine team is also on hand to help you select the perfect pairings for your event.

We’re happy to cater for vegetarian guests and any other dietary requirements – just let us know what you need, and we’ll take care of the rest.
