Barworks

Barworks was founded in 1995 with the opening of our first bar Two Floors in Soho. Since then, the group has gone from strength to strength & has been expanding steadily.Our approach is and has always been to treat each venue individually. We do not have a generic approach to design, but instead like to factor in and amplify existing features and tie in with the local area. The common theme that runs throughout all of our venues is the desire to create a modern hub for people to work, socialise, eat & ultimately have a great time in a relaxed, welcoming & comfortable environment.
