The Thirty
Three

Three floors, a 3am licence and records on the deck. A whimsical escape from the busiest pavement in Bloomsbury, doing exactly that since Hogarth was sketching Gin Lane.

About us

The Thirty Three is a unique building on the corner of Museum Street and New Oxford Street, dating back to 1851 and with a character all of its own.

Two of the three floors are open to the public at all times, and all three have a different vibe. We offer a whimsical escape from the busy streets that surround us, and once you are in you get the impression it has been doing exactly that for quite some time.

You can find a reference to the pub, back when it traded as The Old Crown, in Hogarth's famous Beer Street & Gin Lane from 1751. The spire of St George's church is just across the street, so it is fair to say we have some heritage when it comes to serving a libation or two.

The main bar

As soon as you walk in you feel the atmosphere, from the organs behind the bar to the chandeliers hanging from the ceiling. Doors open at 12 and we bring a home-away-from-home feeling to everyone who steps under our roof.

Top floor events space

A hidden gem in the middle of central London. Private hire with karaoke, two flat screen TVs and its own cocktail bar. When it is not booked out we run a different menu up there, plus weekly comedy nights.

Side B — After dark

Records on rotation

No algorithm, no playlist on shuffle. Proper records, played by people who care what comes next, from early evening crate digging through to the small hours Thursday to Saturday.

Turn up early for the slow half of the night, or come late when the top floor is going and the licence runs to 3am.

Thursday to Saturday · until 3am

Whole venue takeovers, floor hire, birthdays, wakes, work dos and everything in between. Three floors, a 3am licence Thursday to Saturday, and a team that has done this a few times.
