Members' Lounge

Want a break from the crowds? Head up into our Members’ Lounge.

Doors open at 5pm and you can join us for a drink any night we have a performance in our Hall or Theatre – but double check opening dates before you visit.

There’s no need for you to book, just drop in. On popular nights our tables fill up quickly, so we recommend arriving early as our bar runs on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that food isn’t allowed in the lounge.

Take a look inside...

The perfect hideaway

A relaxed space to enjoy a drink before your show.

Perched above the buzz of the foyers, you'll feel both hidden away and connected. Settle into comfortable sofas, gather around a table, or simply pause with a cocktail in hand and take in the atmosphere below.

While it’s perfect for a pre-show drink, many Members come just for the Lounge itself, for the atmosphere, the views and the chance to enjoy the Barbican at a slower pace.

Members can bring one guest with them into the lounge, Members Plus can bring three.

A bar worth arriving early for

We focus on thoughtfully made drinks, from classic serves to seasonal cocktails, crafted by our expert mixologists.

We have a happy hour every day between 5–6pm, where you can enjoy two of the same curated cocktails for £17. On Mondays, happy hour lasts all night – a great excuse to linger a little longer.
