Amazing venue! Staff were fabulous, helpful, friendly, knowledgeable. Couldn’t fault the whole night! Thank you Adam & staff!

Easy to book due to the high level of communication, amazing kind staff that cared about making the occasion special and such good value- the venue is stunning and sophisticated in such a handy area of town.

Amazing! Very friendly and helpful management and staff. Helped make sure the night was a success. Can't thank them enough. Would definitely book for future events

Lovely rooms. Very clean toilets, nice bar, staff are fabulous and caring. Owen is a dream to deal with.

No DJ music very hit and miss

About Royal Institution Bar

“Simple but Better” and for the rare and the spirited. The Royal Institution's origins started as an institution promoting Literature, science and the arts in 1814 and was granted its royal charter in 1821.

Now in a new era, we want to keep the foundations of its history and themes of the past together with new ideas in this everchanging dynamic world. The three iconic rooms will take you on an expedition of fine wine, spirits, signature and classic cocktails done “Simple but Better”.
