About Balls Brothers Austin Friars

Balls Brothers Austin Friars is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

Balls Brothers Austin Friars is a bar that blends classic British pub styling with a social darts concept, pairing a Modern British menu and cocktails with on-site 180 Darts play across two oches.

Venue highlights: The venue features an in-house kitchen that supplies bowl-style sharing dishes and set menus, with halal, extensive vegan and gluten-free options. The interior uses exposed brick and a mezzanine to create flexible floorplans for standing receptions, seated dinners and activity zones. A dedicated 180 Darts area provides fast-paced multiplayer games as on-site entertainment.

Best for: Networking mixers, corporate Christmas parties and social celebrations such as hen or stag parties.

Location: Austin Friars in the City of London sits in the Square Mile's business district, placing hosts close to the area's lunchtime dining and after-work venues where guests can continue the evening.

What guests say: The service is responsive and well organised, with event staff providing hands-on support during planning and on the night. The layout accommodates both mingling and seated dinners, and the kitchen supplies bowl-style dishes and three-course options that suit larger private bookings.
