The Bohemia can host private parties, work functions and receptions for up to 300 guests standing or 130 seated, across four bookable areas. It is a brew pub on High Road in North Finchley, London, and every space is booked directly with the pub.
Seminars and company events
The pub lists work functions among the events it hosts. The best fit for a team gathering is the Bar Below, a basement room with its own bar, a stage with a live music set-up, space for a dance floor and table seating. It takes 60 seated or 100 standing. For a smaller group, the Brewers Corner sits in the main bar next to the brewhouse and holds 20 seated or 40 standing. It is slightly apart from the main bar and opens onto the rear garden, which suits a lunch or dinner with colleagues.
Rooms and capacities
The Ground Floor is the largest space: 130 seated or 300 standing. It is a large open hall with high ceilings, cross beams and Art Deco details, and it was a furniture store when it opened in the 1930s. The brewing team works at the rear, so guests see the London Brewing Company tanks while they are there. The Outside Spaces take 60 seated or 80 standing, with a west-facing front terrace and a partly covered, enclosed garden at the back. Heat lamps and blankets are provided when it is cold.
Catering
Guests can order from the daily menu. Groups of 10 or more can pre-order a sharing menu. The kitchen cooks everything on site, and the pub also offers a party pack with details on bookable areas and on the food and drink selection. The pub brews on site and can produce more than 1,000 pints a week, so its own beers are served at events.
History and setting
The Bohemia has run private parties since 2014 and says it has hosted hundreds. It is the home of the London Brewing Company, and the brewhouse is visible from the main bar. The building at 762-764 High Road was a furniture store in the 1930s.
Getting there
The address is 762-764 High Road, London N12 9QH. The pub is open seven days a week, and private hire enquiries go through the Private Hire & Parties page of its website or by phone.
Accommodation
The official site does not mention bedrooms, so plan for events that end the same evening. Guests who travel in can check the pub address and opening hours on the website before they come: it opens at 3 pm Monday to Thursday and at noon Friday to Sunday, and the kitchen closes between 9 pm and 10 pm depending on the day.
