About Venue

Core is an urban, high-energy bar and event venue in the City of London, known for its exposed brick interiors, late-night atmosphere, and effortlessly cool vibe.

This is a venue that really suits lively, social events where you want people to relax, connect, and stay on long after the first drink. It works brilliantly for birthday parties, after-work socials, networking events, and Christmas celebrations, while also offering a stylish backdrop for wedding receptions and private hires. The layout naturally lends itself to both casual mingling and more structured events, so you have the freedom to shape the experience around your plans.

What makes Core stand out is how flexible and easy it is to use. The team are responsive, organised, and genuinely helpful, which takes a lot of pressure off when planning. You can opt for exclusive hire for a more private feel, or tailor your event with drinks packages and entertainment options that suit your crowd. The atmosphere is lively but still feels polished, giving your event that extra edge without trying too hard.

Set just moments from Mansion House, Bank, and St Paul’s stations, it is incredibly convenient for guests travelling across London. Its central location makes it a smart choice for city-based teams and groups, with everything you need nearby for a seamless event from start to finish.

a great place for drinks with friends. Even on their busiest days, still give great service. Adaora was a lovely and lively server and very attentive. Definitely, that type of place were lunch and drinks turns into “let’s order one more”

Had a good time with friends here. Food was great and the drink deals were worth it. We had great service by staff especially Adaora, she is very sweet and very fast when it came to getting our rounds of drinks. Amazing!

Pretty much a disaster from the get go. Made a booking for food, there was no staff to be found as you walked in. There was no record of the reservation. The food we wanted was not available. The food order wasn't right. The staff members we (eventually) interacted with looked like a bunch of miserable teens who had been forced to work there and didn't have answers to basic questions like: "how can I pay"

Ami at the bar was incredibly attentive to me (who needed so many water bottle refills). Thank you so much!!! Music is on the loud end but it is possible to talk, and the cheap price of nice drinks makes it worthwhile anyway. Toilets seem to be cleaned regularly. There was a nice atmosphere about with lots of people visiting for a drink after work. Unfortunately my group had a totally unnecessary negative experience with a bouncer/security toward the end of the night. We were tipsy, not drunk, by about 10pm and we only had a few bottles of wine between 5ish people to share. My friend went out for a smoke and was denied entry back in, and we were later told that it’s because she was “too drunk” judging by her “swaying”. We were having an excellent night until they kept her outside for an extended period of time and no one let her grab her bags or tell her friends inside despite them claiming “to have been about to”. The night was to celebrate her but was spoiled by security being incredibly assumptive and unhelpful, it was also turning away business. It wasn’t until the rest of the remainder of our group came outside to explain that they understood, which we were grateful for. Despite them definitely trying to do their job, they were fairly careless and unprofessional. A male worker even came outside and laughed about my friend who was upset by the misunderstanding, maybe he thought we couldn’t hear. Not sure if this can be solved with more training unfortunately, seems to be based on a persons ability to read someone or be careful.
