Scarfes Bar

Scarfes Bar sits inside Rosewood London on High Holborn, a clubby room of velvet armchairs, a roaring fire and shelves holding more than a thousand antique books, named for the satirical murals of cartoonist Gerald Scarfe that line the walls. It runs live music seven nights a week, leaning into jazz, soul and blues, and ranked among the World's 50 Best Bars in 2025.

The bar is available for private hire, with a cocktail programme and bespoke menus drawn up directly with the kitchen. Its scale and gentleman's-club atmosphere suit intimate receptions, press launches and celebrations rather than large floor-led parties, the kind of evening where a DJ or live set sets the mood for a seated, conversational crowd.
