Late Licence? Yes Please. Why The Chapel Bar Is Perfect for After Parties

Keep the Celebration Going with a Late Licence

There’s nothing worse than hitting your stride on a great night out and having the venue call last rounds just as the energy lifts. That’s exactly where The Chapel Bar shines. Thanks to its late licence, this spot has become a favourite after party venue that London planners keep coming back to, and for good reason.

Whether you’re wrapping up a corporate event, winding down after a wedding, or celebrating a milestone birthday, The Chapel Bar gives you the freedom to let the night unfold naturally. No rushing. No forced endings. Just good music, good company, and a space that welcomes a longer celebration.

The Perfect Space for Every Kind of After Party

One of the biggest strengths of The Chapel Bar is just how versatile it is. You can take over the entire venue or choose the space that best suits your vibe.

The Saloon is ideal if you’re after that high-energy, dance-floor moment. With its sleek bar, polished interiors, and room to move, it’s where people end up dancing barefoot by midnight (in the best possible way).

Upstairs, The Terrace Bar & Garden offers something completely different, a little calmer, a little more intimate, and brilliant for groups who want to mix inside and outdoors. The terrace is heated too, so even in cooler months, everyone stays comfortable.

This flexibility makes The Chapel Bar one of those late night party venues that actually fits the mood of different groups, rather than forcing everyone into the same setup.

Food, Drinks, and Music Sorted

If you’re hosting an after party, you shouldn’t have to juggle a dozen suppliers or stress about who’s bringing the speakers. The Chapel Bar keeps everything in one place.

Our event food menu is built for social, late-night eating, think sharing boards, hearty bites, and crowd-pleasers that keep everyone fueled throughout the night.

The drinks? Also handled. From classic cocktails to premium spirits and curated wine lists, the bar team knows how to keep things flowing. 

And yes, the music. The Chapel Bar has an in-house DJ setup, which means you can either bring your own DJ or let our team help you arrange one. Sound quality is taken seriously, and it’s one less thing to worry about on the night.

A Stylish Islington Setting with Effortless Access

Location always matters, especially for an after party. The Chapel Bar is tucked into Islington, which strikes that perfect balance of central and easy-going. Guests can get to us quickly from anywhere in London, and once the party’s over, getting home isn’t a mission.

Being close to major transport links means no one has to choose between staying late and dealing with complicated travel plans. It’s genuinely convenient, and that practicality goes a long way when you’re hosting people who may already have been at another event earlier in the day.

Why Event Hosts Love The Chapel Bar

Beyond the late licence and beautiful rooms, what really sets The Chapel Bar apart is the way the team treats each event. You’re not left to figure things out alone. Our event staff are warm, on-the-ball, and genuinely invested in making sure the night runs smoothly.

We help with planning, logistics, timings, and on-the-day coordination. If you need changes or want to add a little something extra last-minute, we’re the type of people who say, “Let’s see what we can do” rather than “That’s not possible.” For hosts, especially those planning birthdays, private celebrations, or corporate meetups, that level of support is priceless.

It’s why so many event organisers, couples, and party planners consider The Chapel Bar one of London’s go-to late night party venues.
