Located in the heart of the City of London, Bar 22 takes its name from our street address — with a playful nod to the classic bingo call: “two little ducks.”
Inside, you’ll find a charming blend of vintage bingo memorabilia, comfy seating, and soft lighting by day. As night falls, the space comes alive with glittering disco balls, glowing neons, and a projector screen, creating a vibrant yet cosy atmosphere.
Whether you're winding down after work or gearing up for a night out, Bar 22 offers the perfect setting — complete with late-night DJs, dancing, and a turn on the karaoke mic.
Our popularhappy hour (and a half)runs Tuesday to Friday, from 5pm to 6:30pm. And when the sun shines, we swing open our floor-to-ceiling front to let the breeze in — perfect for enjoying a drink on our terrace.
Planning a special occasion? Bar 22 is the perfect venue for private events, offering a vibrant atmosphere and exceptional service to make your celebration truly memorable. Whether it's a hen party, birthday bash, or corporate gathering, we've got you covered. Contact us to book your next event and let us help you create an unforgettable experience.
Behind the bar, our skilled and friendly bartenders are ready to shake up your night with a dazzling selection of cocktails, carefully curated beers, and premium spirits.
Bar 22 seats up to 40 guests, with tables available to book in advance — or hire the entire venue for your private event.
