About this space

Bar Room is a semi-private Bar in The George & Monkey centred on a long, curved timber counter that creates a contained serving and social area.

Design: The space shows traditional pub fittings: tongue-and-groove timber panelling, green-painted lower walls, patterned wooden floorboards and an ornate mirror behind the bar, all lit by warm pendant lamps that keep the room compact and approachable.

Features: The room includes fixed bar stools, back-bar shelving stocked with spirits and glassware, and multiple draught beer taps for on-site pouring. The space benefits from natural daylight, Wi‑Fi and wheelchair-accessible entry, and bar staff can take food and drink orders directly at the counter.

Ideal for: Small social groups seeking a relaxed, informal mix of seated drinks and standing conversation around a central bar.

What guests say: The bar has a staff-curated, rotating beer selection and a traditional interior that receives positive mention; bar food including pizza is frequently praised.

This pub was the perfect location for our event. We used the back room with access to the outside. Pizza and platters were delicious and the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. We had a great night and everyone commented on the lovely venue. They allowed me to decorate the room. Couldn’t have been better

We had a large group for a pre-graduation drinks reception with friends and family of all ages in the back room and everyone had an amazing time! The pub's layout was perfect with a mix of ground floor seating and standing and the ability to spill out into the outdoor seating area as well. Pete and his staff provided excellent service and were very flexible and responsive. The surrounding neighborhood is very calm and not too busy but also not far from the tube which was nice as well. Everyone in our group will be talking about this event for a while to come. I would 10/10 recommend and we will definitely be back for a pint!
