Great food & cocktails. The staff were lovely, in particular the mixologist was so lovely and all the drinks went down a treat.
Beautiful venue and they were flexible on the day allowing us to book the outside space as the weather was nice.

FAQ
Yes! Here's what guests who have hosted their birthdays at this venue say:
- Alex H. rated it 5/5 stars
'We reserved the basement bar of Lockes for my 30th birthday and it was a perfect night. In the weeks running up to it Marco was excellent at helping organise logistics, offer timing advice for pre-ordered food and drinks. Everyone at the party was singing praises about the cocktails and how attentive the barman was to our needs. The pizzas (and specifically the gluten-free options) were incredible and we'll be going back to the upstairs part of the bar to definitely try some more of the menu! Thank you for a lovely night - I'll remember it for a long time!' - Nick rated it 4.8/5 stars
'Hosted my 50th birthday here. Great venue, 60 guests was a bit of a squeeze but guests all had a good time. Minimum spend v reasonable compared to other places I looked at in central London' - Eshia G. rated it 4.9/5 stars

'We hosted our Christmas party at Lockes Wine Bar in Covent Garden, and it was fantastic from start to finish. The venue has a warm, stylish atmosphere that was perfect for a festive celebration, and the location couldn’t be better. The staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional, making sure everything ran smoothly throughout the evening. The drinks selection was excellent, and the pizzas were a real highlight — fresh, delicious, and enjoyed by everyone. Our guests had a brilliant time and commented that the evening felt both relaxed and special. We couldn’t have asked for a better venue and would highly recommend Lockes Wine Bar for Christmas parties or group events.' - Laura E. rated it 5/5 stars
'An excellent experience start to finish for our corporate holiday event. Marco and the team were extremely helpful from the initial booking to the ight of the event. Marco answered all our questions promptly and fully. On the night, the service was outstanding and the bar was great at keeping me updated on the tab amount. I would highly recommend this venue!' - Simone C. rated it 5/5 stars
'We choose the venue for our Company Christmas Party and it was a huge success.
