The Players Bar – The Show After The Show

Step into The Players Bar, the original West End piano bar, now celebrating 35 years of late-night magic, live music, and theatre-fuelled fun. Hidden beneath the arches of Charing Cross Theatre, this industry hangout is London’s best-kept secret — the only piano bar inside a West End theatre.

From 10pm ‘til 2am, the curtain rises again with live piano sessions and spontaneous singalongs where performers, audiences, and night owls belt out the hits together. Every Wednesday is Musical Theatre Singalong Night — a joyful, high-energy celebration of West End and Broadway classics led by top pianists.

Enjoy affordable drinks (with non-alcoholic options too), prices to match your local pub, and no membership or cover charge — just great vibes and unforgettable nights. Planning something special? Reserve a table for your group or book The Loft upstairs for private parties, birthdays, or closing-night celebrations.

With a rich music hall heritage, a friendly, insider crowd, and the best tunes in town, The Players Bar is where London’s theatre community comes alive after dark.
