Christmas 2026

a very callooh Christmas party Awaits

There are Christmas parties. And then there are Christmas parties at Callooh Callay.

Hidden away on Rivington Street, Callooh Callay has been doing things differently since 2008. Behind our Shoreditch doors you’ll find a labyrinth of low-lit rooms, curious corners, hidden bars and just enough festive mischief to make the office Christmas party feel considerably less like an office Christmas party.

Whether you’re planning drinks with the team, a full-scale company celebration, a client party or an end-of-year gathering with your favourite people, we have spaces that can be made entirely your own.

Less corporate Christmas. More serious nonsense.

Pick Your Party

The Back Lounge

Warm, atmospheric and tucked away from the main bar, our Back Lounge is made for groups who want their own party without hiring the entire venue.

Think velvet booths, low lighting, plenty of character and your own dedicated bar team. There’s space for up to 50 guests, plus a sound system so the soundtrack is yours too.

The JubJub

For those who know where to look.

Hidden upstairs through the Back Lounge, the JubJub is our secret private bar for up to 40 guests. With its own bar, dedicated bartender and sound system, it’s an intimate little world of its own — ideal for close-knit teams, private celebrations and parties that deserve to feel a little more special than drinks around a reserved table.

Full Venue Hire

Want the whole venue?

Take over Callooh Callay exclusively for up to 180 guests, giving your party the run of both bars, every room and every curious corner of the venue.

With two fully stocked bars, dedicated staff, multiple themed spaces, a cloakroom and a sound system suitable for music, DJs or live entertainment, it’s made for big Christmas parties that need somewhere equally big on personality.

Drinks worth celebrating

This is Callooh Callay, so naturally the drinks are taken very seriously. The Christmas part? Slightly less so.

Our festive season brings with it a collection of suitably Christmassy cocktails alongside bubbles, wine, beer and pre-ordered drinks options for groups.

Expect everything from Gingerbread Sours and Chocolate Orange Martinis to creations involving mulled wine, apple, cinnamon and an entirely reasonable amount of festive nonsense.

Tell us how you want the night to flow and our team can help arrange drinks for your guests before they arrive.

Festive Food & Canapés

Good parties require good snacks.

Our Christmas canapé menu ranges from oysters, smoked salmon and festive charcuterie to pigs in blankets, buttermilk chicken, sliders, Yorkshire puddings and caviar blinis, with suitably indulgent sweet things to finish.

Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and other dietary options can also be accommodated with advance notice.

Christmas at Callooh Callay. Anything but ordinary.

Big office takeover? Secret-bar celebration? Cocktails and canapés with your favourite people?

Tell us what you have in mind and we’ll help build the party around you.

Great drinks. Hidden spaces. Festive food. Very good company.
