A place worth knowing
Make this the part of the evening that slows down. Scarfes Bar gathers books, Gerald Scarfe’s drawings and deep armchairs around a room built for conversation. Cocktails and small plates make a natural pause after the West End.
The bar opens from 16:00 until late; the operator does not publish a fixed closing time, so confirm your intended arrival. Check the current music programme before expecting a particular performance. Food and drinks are charged. Use the bar’s official page for current access and table enquiries.
