Opera Tavern, La Scala Room

About Venue

With a refreshed look and feel, Opera Tavern is a buzzy and inviting tapas bar and restaurant in the heart of Covent Garden's theatreland. Downstairs, striking graphic prints by the likes of Ben Eine complement the stylish bar, counter seating, and communal table, with a warm and atmospheric first-floor dining space above. whilst a quick venture upstairs reveals a dining room decked out with polished plaster walls, a gold-leaf ceiling, and large sash windows to create an intimate space perfect for hosting a private get-together.

The team at Opera Tavern has pulled out all of the stops to provide guests with as authentic tapas experience as you are likely to find in the city. Iberico sourced from Spain accompanies thoughtfully sourced meats from around the country, whilst the wine list is made up of exclusively Spanish and Italian imports. There's also a strong list of spirits to choose from, with brandies, whiskies, and no less than ten variants of sherry available to guests. Perfect to stop in and enjoy a pre-theatre tipple, the location of the venue mirrors the quality of the food, drink, and décor to create an all-around stylish establishment.

La Scala Room on the first floor can be hired for private events and can accommodate up to 42 seated guests or 45 standing. This amazing space allows you to play your own personal music and has a screen/projector available upon request and has its own private bar making the perfect place for a private event.

There are multiple group set menus available for private parties which feature an array of Salt Yard’s most popular tapas dishes and are designed to be shared by the whole group.
Our team is happy to assist with any additional requirements such as flowers, name cards, personalized menus and wine selection.
