Birthday Party · 40 guests · January 2026
I organized a surprise 30th birthday party for my partner, and everything was absolutely perfect. Everything was ready on time, and the bartender was highly professional — the cocktails were excellent. The room was the perfect size to host 40 people and it allowed me to bring food and set it up as a buffet throughout the space. We had an amazing time — thank you!

30th Birthday Party · 40 guests · November 2025
I definitely recommend the Back Lounge for private events. Great little spot and space, with a lot of seating and a booth. Have your own sound system to play music off, which makes it more accommodating. You get your own waiter who was fantastic by the way (Bella). Drinks came quick! The rest of the team were great and professional. Thanks to the bar staff and both Alex's!

About Callooh Callay Shoreditch

Callooh Callay Shoreditch is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

Callooh Callay opened in November 2008. At the time, cocktail bars in Shoreditch were few and far between. A venue which delivers high quality drinks and service, but without any of the pretension that came along with those things in 2008. We wanted to do things a little differently with our design and with our menus, for which we have become pretty famous.

In the last 12 years we've been very lucky to have made drinks for, and served, hundreds of thousands of guests. We've been even luckier to win an award or 2 from our peers along the way. We were named Best International High Volume Cocktail Bar at Tales of the Cocktail 2016, Worlds Best Cocktail Menu in 2012 and have been named in Drinks International's World's 50 Best Bars in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2016.
