Christmas party venue in Soho

Your office Christmas party, somewhere with a pulse.

A hidden Soho cocktail bar for Christmas parties that don't feel like work, closer to a good pub than a function room. Sections from £15pp, or the whole basement for 50 to 110 guests. Enquire about your December date.

Send your preferred date and headcount. We'll reply with availability and a price; nothing is held yet.

Just a table for the team? Book online →, no enquiry needed. Between 41 and 49? Say the number on the form: depending on the night it is a larger reserved area or the whole basement, and we price both.

Why Soho, in December

The opposite of a function room with tinsel.

Warm, not strip-lit.

Low ceilings, candlelight, and a room that already feels like Christmas before you've hung a single bauble. People stay later when the room is good. That is the whole trick to a December night out.

Three minutes from Oxford Circus.

8 Broadwick Street, W1, a short walk from Oxford Circus, Tottenham Court Road and Piccadilly Circus. Easy to get to after work, hidden enough to feel like a proper end-of-year treat.

We do the heavy lifting.

A dedicated host, a cocktail list we'll tailor to the group, mulled and festive options behind the bar, and food that holds up next to the drinks. You turn up. We run the night.

From ten to a hundred and ten.

A reserved corner for a small team, a section for the department, or the whole basement bought out. Whatever the headcount, nobody is squeezed onto the end of a long table.

Getting the team here

Three minutes from Oxford Circus, five from Tottenham Court Road.

Most Christmas parties here start as a walk from the office. Broadwick Street sits in the middle of Soho, so if you're anywhere near Oxford Circus, Piccadilly Circus or Tottenham Court Road, you can lock up at six and have a drink in hand by quarter past.

  • Oxford Circus: three minutes, straight down Argyll Street and through Carnaby
  • Tottenham Court Road: five minutes across Soho Square
  • Piccadilly Circus: eight minutes up through Golden Square
  • Bond Street and Mayfair: ten minutes across Regent Street
  • Fitzrovia and Goodge Street: ten minutes, most of it down Berwick Street
  • Covent Garden and Leicester Square: ten minutes through Chinatown

Offices further out use the Elizabeth line: Tottenham Court Road makes us a direct run from Liverpool Street, Canary Wharf and Paddington, which is why a fair few December bookings come from teams nowhere near Soho.

Good to know

Christmas party questions, answered.

How many people can Basement Sate hold for a Christmas party?

Up to 110 standing or 50 seated for a full venue buyout, with reserved sections and tables for smaller teams from around ten guests.

How much does a Christmas party in Soho cost here?

A reserved section starts from £15 per person and takes a quick enquiry. Full venue hire runs on a minimum spend from £2,000, for 50 to 110 guests.

When should we book an office Christmas party in Soho?

Send your preferred December date and headcount when you're ready to plan. We'll check availability and come back with a price; nothing is held until we've confirmed the booking with you.

Can a small team book without a minimum spend?

Tables for up to 15 book online with no minimum spend and no waiting on a reply. For 15 to 40 we hold a semi-private section of the room from £15 per person, and that one takes a quick enquiry so we can set the area aside for you.

Do you do festive food and drinks?

Yes. A cocktail list tailored to your group, mulled and festive serves behind the bar, and food designed to hold up next to the drinks.

Where are you, and how late can the party run?

8 Broadwick Street, Soho, W1F 8HN, three minutes from Oxford Circus. We're open until 1:30am Tuesday to Saturday, so the night doesn't end at ten.

Is this a good Christmas party venue near Oxford Circus?

About as near as it gets without being on the Circus itself: three minutes' walk down Argyll Street and through Carnaby. If the office is closer to Tottenham Court Road you're five minutes away, and from Piccadilly Circus it's eight up through Golden Square.

How does Christmas venue hire work?

Tell us the night, the headcount and roughly what you're after. Fifty or more can take the whole basement from £2,000 minimum spend, and groups of 15 to 40 take a semi-private section from £15 per person. Either way, tell us the night and we'll come back with what's still open.

Is this a Christmas party pub in Soho?

Not a pub, but it does the job people usually want a pub to do at Christmas: a room with a bit of noise and character, no set menu, no seating plan, and drinks you actually want to order. It's a candlelit basement cocktail bar three minutes from Oxford Circus, with reserved sections from £15 per person and the whole room by enquiry.

We're not based in Soho. Is it easy to get to?

Yes. Most of the West End can walk here: three minutes from Oxford Circus, five from Tottenham Court Road, ten from Bond Street or Covent Garden. The Elizabeth line makes it a direct run from Liverpool Street, Canary Wharf and Paddington.

Get the date before someone else does.

Tell us the night, the headcount, and roughly what you're after. We'll come back with the room, a menu outline, and a price.
