BFI

The BFI Bar is the perfect place to unwind before a film or settle in after work, with a full drinks menu featuring cocktails, spritzers, wines and beers served in a relaxed, buzzy setting at the heart of BFI Southbank. Whether you’re meeting friends, heading out on a date night or simply enjoying a drink on the riverfront, you’ll find plenty of comfortable seating and a lively atmosphere to sink into.

Join us for Happy Hour every day from 4pm to 6pm with 2‑for‑1 Prosecco or House Wine, or stay a little longer and explore our full bar menu. The BFI Bar also doubles as a flexible event space for larger groups of up to 350 guests, with mood lighting and floor‑to‑ceiling windows that make it one of the most impressive social venues on the South Bank.

Join us for lunch, dinner or drinks with a stunning view of the River Thames. BFI Riverfront offers a range of dishes from handmade stone-baked pizzas and delicious colourful salads to succulent fish and meat dishes. The kitchen is open from 12pm until our last seating at 9pm. Our bar is open from 10am, so come and grab a Barista-made coffee from our team.

From 4pm every day, you can sit back with a drink or host a group of your friends in our Balcony Bar. With a covered terrace that offers great views of the buzzing South Bank, this will quickly become your new favourite drinking spot.
