About Bar Bonobo

Bar Bonobo is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.

Bar Bonobo is a cocktail bar that blends 1970s Italian aperitivo design with a modern New York cocktail program, offering a visually distinctive setting built around martinis and aperitifs.

Venue highlights: Bar Bonobo's interior pairs 1970s Italian furniture and tile detailing with a compact, cocktail-focused bar and a martini-and-aperitivo-led drinks program. The venue offers an intimate lounge area fitted for DJ-backed late-night events; seating mixes booths, high tops and bar seats to support both standing receptions and seated tastings. An in-house catering service supplies stylized small plates and shareable dishes, and the bar produces bespoke cocktail menus including non-alcoholic options.

Best for: Cocktail receptions and aperitivo-style networking; evening private parties with a DJ; cocktail tastings and masterclasses.

Location: Chelsea. The neighbourhood's gallery, restaurant and nightlife corridor provides plenty of options for pre- or post-event dining and late-night afters.

What guests say: The bartending team provides attentive, organised service for groups and bespoke cocktail requests. The cocktail program emphasizes martinis and inventive aperitivo-style drinks while offering non-alcoholic alternatives, and the moody lounge supports DJ-driven late-night events.
