Live Sport

No more crowding around a single screen. Bat & Ball features 24 HD screens spread throughout the venue – including in game zones like the darts and pool areas – so you can catch the action without missing your turn. Whether it's Premier League, Champions League, Formula 1, Darts, or Rugby, Bat & Ball is the ultimate Covent Garden sports bar to watch the action.

Food & Drink: Big Flavours & Fiery Challenges

The Covent Garden kitchen brings serious flavour to the table, with a menu of crowd-pleasers, comfort food, and a few fiery surprises.

Expect hand-stretched sourdough pizzas loaded with toppings (the Meat Feast and American Hot are fan favourites), stacked smash burgers like the Cowabunga topped with smoked applewood cheese, ale onions and slow-cooked beef brisket, and deep-fried snacks made for sharing — from crispy squid to chicken strips with a choice of house-made dips. Desserts keep the fun going, with warm chocolate brownies, raspberry & pistachio cheesecake, and churros with salted caramel dip.

Those feeling brave should take on the Wings Inferno Challenge — 10 wings in 10 minutes, each coated in increasingly spicy homemade sauces. Survive it and earn your bragging rights.

Wash it all down with signature cocktails, draft beers (from Asahi to Beavertown Neck Oil), and prosecco on tap. The drinks list also features over a dozen spritzes and tonics, party-perfect shots, and a curated selection of low and no-alcohol options.

Karaoke & DJ Nights

Bat & Ball features two private karaoke booths, powered by Lucky Voice, with over 50,000 tracks. Choose between themed rooms – '70s Boogie Nights or Studio 54 meets Miami Vice – and belt your heart out.

From Thursday to Saturday, expect high-energy DJ sets from Cut Loose, the party-starters behind nights at MOTH Club. Think disco, house, and dancefloor-fillers that keep the good vibes going until late.
