Opera Tavern - La Scala Room

Opera Tavern - La Scala Room Upstairs at Opera Tavern in Covent Garden, the La Scala Room is a private dining space that seats up to 42 guests or holds 50 standing. Spanning roughly 40-50 square metres, this first-floor spot mixes bold style with practical perks. Exposed brick walls, polished plaster, and a gold-leaf ceiling catch the eye, while soft lighting keeps it warm and inviting. Big sash windows let in daylight, giving it a fresh edge over basement rooms. You get a private bar pouring cocktails—think gin with a twist or bold reds to match the Spanish-Italian tapas. The kitchen downstairs sends up plates like juicy Iberico pork, crispy croquetas, or grilled prawns, all with that wood-fired kick. This room’s built for more than just eating. A projector’s ready for presentations, pitches, or a photo reel, and you can hook up your own music to the PA system—play jazz for a dinner or beats for a party. There’s a cloakroom and private restrooms, so your crew’s sorted without mingling downstairs. It’s perfect for a business meeting with clients, a small wedding reception, or a team catch-up that needs a screen and good food. Just five minutes from Covent Garden station at 23 Catherine Street, WC2B 5JS, the full venue fits 80 seated or 120 standing, but this space keeps it exclusive and sharp. Book it for a night where the vibe, food, and setup click.
