The Bar & Bistro at Olympic Studios Barnes
One of South West London's Most Unique Places to Eat, Drink and Unwind
Tucked away in the heart of Barnes, The Bar & Bistro at Olympic Studios offers something increasingly rare in London: a neighbourhood destination with genuine character.
Set within the legendary Olympic Studios building, where some of the world's most influential musicians once recorded, our Bar & Bistro combines exceptional food, expertly crafted drinks and a relaxed atmosphere with one of the most remarkable cultural legacies in Britain.
Whether you're joining us for breakfast, lunch, dinner, cocktails, a pre cinema drink or a late evening meal, The Bar & Bistro is designed to be enjoyed at your own pace.
A Restaurant, Bar and Cultural Destination
Unlike many restaurants in London, Olympic Studios offers far more than a meal.
Guests can enjoy a drink before a film, settle in for a long lunch, meet friends for cocktails, enjoy dinner after work or make an evening of it with one of our cinema screenings, special events or cultural programmes.
It is a place where food, film, music and conversation naturally come together.
A destination for locals. A discovery for visitors.
Dining In The Home Of Music History
Few restaurants in London can claim a heritage quite like Olympic Studios.
This is the building where artists including The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, Queen, The Beatles and countless others helped shape modern music.
Today, that same creative spirit continues through our restaurant, cinema, recording studios and cultural programming.
Every visit connects guests to a building that has played a unique role in British cultural history.
Seasonal Food, Thoughtfully Prepared
Our menus celebrate quality ingredients, seasonal produce and timeless dishes designed to be enjoyed any day of the week.
Whether you're joining us for a relaxed breakfast, a working lunch, pre cinema dining or an evening meal with friends and family, our kitchen focuses on delivering consistently excellent food within a welcoming and comfortable environment.
From casual dining to special occasions, The Bar & Bistro offers one of the most enjoyable dining experiences in South West London.
Cocktails, Wine & Evening Drinks
As day turns into evening, The Bar & Bistro becomes one of Barnes' most inviting places to meet, unwind and socialise.
Enjoy carefully crafted cocktails, a considered wine list, local beers and classic serves in surroundings that feel distinctly different from the pace of Central London.
Whether you're stopping by before a film, meeting friends after work or settling in for the evening, our bar provides the perfect setting.
Perfect Before Or After The Cinema
The Bar & Bistro is uniquely positioned within Olympic Studios, making it one of the few places in London where exceptional dining and world class cinema exist under one roof.
Start with drinks at the bar. Enjoy dinner with friends. Then settle into one of London's most distinctive cinema experiences.
Or do it the other way around.
Either way, it makes for a better night out.

More Than A Restaurant
London has no shortage of places to eat and drink.
Very few offer the opportunity to dine inside one of the most culturally significant buildings in the country.
At Olympic Studios Barnes, food, drink, cinema, music and culture exist side by side, creating an experience that extends far beyond the table.
Whether you're joining us for coffee, cocktails, lunch, dinner or a complete evening out, The Bar & Bistro is one of South West London's most distinctive destinations.
