Rhum Tavern, Exclusive Hire

About Venue

Rhum Tavern is a private events venue on Margaret Street, W1W 8SE - 4 minutes on foot
from Oxford Circus station (Elizabeth, Central and Bakerloo lines), 2 minutes from Hanover
Square.

The venue contains one of the few genuinely hidden event rooms in central London:
Captains Quarters, reached through a working bookshelf door at the rear of the bar. From the
main floor, there is no visible entrance. Most guests don't realise the room exists until they
walk through it.

The interiors reference classic ships and ocean voyages - wood-clad walls, high ceilings,
lantern lighting, and a bar serving signature cocktails including Dead Man Tells No Tales,
served in a skull. Full AV across both spaces. Licensed to 1am on Fridays and Saturdays.
Two spaces available for private hire:

Captains Quarters for up to 80 guests, from £1,500
minimum spend.

Exclusive Hire for the full venue, up to 150 guests, from £6,000. Both run
on a bar tab model - no room hire fee charged on top of the minimum.

Entertainment packages available from [£25] per person: rum masterclasses, Kraken terrarium
workshops, fire performers, live musicians, magicians and DJ hire.

Well suited to product launches, corporate away days, client receptions, team socials,
birthday parties and private dining.
