About The Southwark Tavern

The Southwark Tavern is a Tagvenue Partner. This business has registered with Tagvenue and agreed to our venue partner standards.

The Southwark Tavern is a traditional Irish pub in a period building, defined by its oak‑floored bar and classic tiled frontage that preserve a historic pub character.

Venue highlights: The pub provides in-house catering and multiple vegetarian options to simplify event food planning. The interior combines an oak‑floored bar, stained glass and traditional tiling across multiple levels, allowing hosts to use both lively bar areas and quieter seated zones. Table service and bar-ordering options are available to support different service styles during private hires.

Best for: Private dining, cocktail receptions and small celebration meals.

Location: Southwark sits between Borough Market and Tower Bridge, placing the pub amid a dense cluster of restaurants, bars and market stalls useful for pre- or post-event plans.

What guests say: The service is friendly and efficient for group bookings and orders are handled quickly at the bar or by table service. The basement dining room provides vaulted alcoves for quieter, seated meals and the cocktail menu is popular for drink-led gatherings.
