Berry Bros & Rudd no.3 Bar in City of London, Westminster

Our pre-show drinks and dinner here were an excellent and fun start to a great Royal Albert experience! The menu had a nice variety of choices. A special thanks to our server Brianna for her part in making this stop a fun and most enjoyable experience.

We booked a table for two for drinks and a light supper before the 14 October 2024 David Gilmour concert. Our server Brianna took our food and drink order shortly after we sat down and everything arrived as described shortly after. Brianna kindly answered our questions with patience and grace and respect. No complaints whatsoever. If we are ever back at Royal Albert Hall we’ll make sure to stop in to the Kensington Gardens Bar again .

Great service in a friendly bar. Enjoyed our pre performance food and drinks. Caitlin our waitress looked after us and was accommodating throughout. Would recommend going before any show you’re going to!

I recently visited a fantastic restaurant and cocktail bar right at the Royal Albert Hall with a friend, and it was a perfect start to our evening. The atmosphere was cosy and welcoming, with attentive and friendly staff who made the experience even better. We were especially impressed by their signature cocktails—each one was exclusive and absolutely delicious, crafted with a great balance of flavours. It’s the ideal spot to enjoy a drink and relax before catching a show. Highly recommend a visit if you’re heading to the Hall!

It’s rare to experience great service, but Caitlin was exceptional. We never had to wave for attention, she was attentive and the food excellent. Would highly recommend if you are having an evening at the Royal Albert.

Friendly, relaxed atmosphere, with (just) enough choice in the menu for food to accompany pre concert drinks. Caitlin was superfriendly and helpful to our family.

Great food, perfect refreshment during the Proms concert interval . Caitlin was a responsive, prompt and informative waitress. Thank you

A brilliant experience. Lovely surroundings. Great staff and lovely food that arrived quickly and well cooked. Great way to start a fantastic night at the royal Albert hall.

This was our third visit and we had booked a table ahead for drinks knowing how busy it can get. We had a warm welcome by Amanda who served us our drinks and enjoyed the pleasant conversation with her which enhanced the experience. She also discreetly sorted out an issue with one of the drinks, which was appreciated. We look forward to returning again.

We booked a table for early evening before a show. You can only do so if you have tickets. Once doors open, then you can go in for a drink or take your chance on there being a free table or stool. The bar itself is atmospheric and cosy. It's close to arena level and toilets. We had a pleasant welcome and very good service from Caitlin and her colleagues. The burgers and fries, and a chicken caesar salad, were all delicious. We really enjoyed the 3 mocktails we had, all excellent. Between the support and main acts, it got busy with a queue for the bar. Would recommend.

We arrived a little stressed because it was 6:50 late for our table and the show started at 7:30 but we were shown to the table and ordered quickly with drinks and food arriving - so we were able to relax. Kevon and Amanda really looked after us. The best bit was pre-booking dessert and drinks for the interval. We felt like VIPs.

We were warmly welcomed into a very tranquil garden themed atmosphere which was so great. The food was lovely, there’s a really interesting selection of cocktails, the watermelon dill was particularly good! Kevon was absolutely lovely, he was very attentive thorough-out our meal. The restaurant/bar can get busy after a certain hour, presumably closer to show start times, however the staff management is so well organised and calm that you don’t feel rushed and still get to feel that special experience. Charlie the manager has the place running smoothly and efficiently, and Maggie at the bar definitely knows how to mix up a top notch cocktail! If you’re looking a selective menu with top quality food and presentation, alongside a genuinely friendly service, then I’d definitely recommend this place. Thank you guys for a memorable experience!

Arrived late for a pre concert meal and were greeted warmly by Teddy who was absolutely fantastic. After our late arrival and apologies she calmed us down showed us to our table and asked us what we wanted to drink, even making a one off expresso martinilike drink. Teddy was great thank you.

Great food at a wonderful place ahead of the Joe Bonamassa concert. Service was friendly, vegan food was surprisingly good. Big thanks to the charming duo of Charlie and Amanda. Highly recommended

Service was outstanding. We booked ahead with a deposit and despite arriving pretty late on the supervisor ensured we got the opportunity to still have a table reserved with food, the head waiter was incredibly attentive and charming , and the waiters were all on top of their game. Special shout out to Shaq who was top notch. Thanks for a memorable night and even that’s before the magical young fathers concert

I went to see the Return of the King Matinee and even though we hadn't made a reservation, the staff managed to find us a wonderful spot for drinks and food. Our server, Caitlin, was a delightful and engaging young woman who provided professional service with a smile, while sharing her passion for the movie. Would certainly come again! Thanks

The place is very nice, food was tasty and drinks wonderful. Thank you Michal for your attention and great service! We Will be back as soon as possible!

Very pleasant experience. Molto bene We enjoyed our drinks before the show at the royal albert hall. The ambience was very well thought, the menu was dedicated, the staff was careful and helpful. Positive note for Mikel in particular.

Had a fabulous time in the Kensington Gardens Bar before watching Cirque Soleil. Charlie and Margaret looked after us fabulously, gave great service, told us how to find our seats and how long it would take and had everything ready for us for the interval as well.. really helped make it a special time!

Beautiful venue with excellent cocktails and amazing service - Margaret and Charlie really went out of their way to provide a top notch experience. Highly recommended!

Great service - we had a pre show meal and interval drinks and Michael really looked after us. Would definitely recommend.

Great food and very convenient for Theatre. Fantastic service by Michael. Good selection of drinks too and relaxing venue,

Great for a pre performance supper and drinks - we went here prior to Allegria and were very well looked after by Michael - it's a great spot and whilst the menu is limited was just what we needed before the performance. Best bit was that we could reserve our table for the interval as well so came back for pudding and cocktails!

We went for dinner on Saturday night prior to the performance. Very nice ambiance in the restaurant, with excellent food, and drinks. The staff were very attentive, and helpful, in particular our waiter for the night, Mikel. He was pleasant , polite, and provided us with an enhanced experience. I would certainly use this restaurant again. My one criticism is that the double doors at our end of the bar, would constantly stick on the carpet, and not close, leaving a draft, which on such a cold night, was uncomfortable. They need fixing.

What a magical experience at the Kensington Garden Bar. The service we received from Shak was exceptional and we enjoyed the food and great selection of drinks.

Staff friendly and attentive. Food arrived quickly, in fact too quickly as we had ordered olives and a pre dinner drink. Whilst food was tasty, the menu is limited and overpriced.

A good option if you don't have time to visit one of the restaurants. Helpful and attentive staff (Bensij). Your table is held for 20 minutes after time booked. It is also available to you for the interval if you have drinks.

We were a large group last night, and were served promptly and efficiently by Luna. Nothing was too much trouble. Lovely atmosphere and a great addition to the RAH. Will definitely be returning.

We’re been in this bar with my friends for a quick dinner before the show, the menu is very simple but the bar look very elegant, we can see that the place is running with care. The waitress, Luna, was very very helpful and took care of us always with a smile and with particular attention.

We went with my wife to see Classical Spectacular and booked in the Berry's Bar. Great food, nice wine and top service by Luna. Will definetely come back for out next visit.

Pre-show supper, delicious food, simple menu from which to choose, excellent wine (of course!) and wonderful, happy service from Eleanor our waitress.

Nice restaurant if you're visiting the Royal Albert Hall. Simple menu, but good food. Slightly pricey, but this is the Royal Albert Hall. The staff were more than helpful, especially our waitress Benju.

We arrived 5 mins late, order taken and food served prompt by Bensu , who was polite and efficient, all you need when you have 40 mins only ! Fantastic

We ate here last night before seeing Alfie Boe and Daniele de Niese in concert. We had booked a table for 6.15 and were promptly seated. Disappointed to be at the bar at the back of the room rather than at a proper table but hey ho. Knew the menu was limited - three types of salad and three types of burger but we chose our meals. We both drank the No3 gin as recommended and it was very. I’ve a,though we were disappointed that they only stock Schweppes tonic and not a more premium brand. The food came, chicken Caesar salad and chicken burger. All very nice but very expensive for what you got. Suppose that’s always the case with a captive audience though.

We had booked a table at 17.30 prior to a show. On getting the restaurant there was a chap in charge rushing round with a clip board obviously out of his depth. Little organization, staff wandering around doing nothing. We finally got seated, had get our own drinks from the bar, also had to find a menu, not one each! Eventually attracted staffs attention and ordered. Actually the food wasn't bad but a chicken burgers not that hard. Wouldn't recommend it

We went to see The Bootleg Beatles and again picked the Berry's Bar. This time we had a table booked and good that we did because the place was really busy.. I had the Chocolate and raspberry martini again and tried their new Pulled pork burger. it was delicious. I love the vibe and the staff again was so helpful.

I'm not sure what disappointed me the most, the quantity of food for ridiculous prices or the lack of choice. It was a very limited menu of 3 salads and 3 burgers; there was only one vegetarian option, no vegan options and didn't cater for other more common dietary requirements such as gluten free.

Nuestra segunda visita a este bar / restaurante (esta vez a la hora del almuerzo) y nos sorprendió ver un cambio de menú desde nuestra primera visita. Yo diría que este nuevo menú es limitado. El enfoque en ensaladas y hamburguesas. Ambos tuvimos la hamburguesa de pollo picante que mi esposa amaba, no tanto. Me pareció muy picante. A los 16 años para una hamburguesa un poco de ensalada y unas patatas fritas especiales esperaba más.

Fui antes del concierto de Keane en el Royal Albert Hall. Menú restrictivo, pero está bien para lo que queríamos.

Celebrating a promotion, we booked a last minute table on the day for a large party and was well looked after by the management and Chenin Blanc was so great we ordered 2!

A convenient and tasty pre-show option. Lounge has a cozy atmosphere and service was faultless (thank you Vanya!). Burgers and drinks for dinner, then drinks waiting at the table during break. Will certainly book again!

The convenience of eating here when attending a performance has to be set against the limited food choice, which relies on burger type plates with chips, a poor salad selection and two shared ploughman offerings. The latter - at an inflated £27.50 - were at best acceptable and at worst bizarre in their choice of ingredients. The 4 pieces of toasted sourdought bread (2 each) were warm but seriously insufficient.

For the BBC Proms, BBR No3 Bar is a perfect location just a few steps away from the Arena, particularly when we hadn't realised the concert started at 7pm rather than usual 7.30. So a last minute rush, manageable as the very helpful Jessica T sorted out our bill, interval drinks (waiting for us on the same table) and takeaway container for the yet to be finished excellent and tasty Rhubarb Ploughman's sharing plate. Definitely recommended.

Another enjoyable visit! We came to see Tony Bennett and had some drinks before the show. We tried different cocktails and my friends had some burgers. Everything was delicious... The Stawberry Daiquiri is a must try yumm!! Service as always was amazing! See you soon!

We were wonderfully looked after by Daniele and his colleagues. A bottle of wine and a couple of sharing platters formed an excellent interlude to the concert. Thank you very much.

We booked a table for the Berry's Bar to have some cocktails.We were greeted with a smile and quickly shown to our table. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the service was quick. We were very impressed by how well we were looked after even when the bar got extremely full. We were offered to pre-order drinks which were waiting for us at the interval on the same table! What a service!!!!

I was visiting Royal Albert Hall for BBC Proms and the bar was really busy. Still they managed to offer quick service. That's rare to see nowadays.

I can only say thank you for the incredible evening. It was a special occasion and the food (delicious Beef burgers), the cocktails and the atmosphere made it even more so.

We were recommended by a steward to visit the bar in the Arena for some cocktails. The bar is gorgeous!!!! Very intimate and stylish! I had the Chocolate and raspberry martini and my partner tried the El Presidente and they we both delicious! Teddy looked after us really well and made are evening special. Will definitely come again!

Amazing place to be for cocktails or dinner. Staff is very friendly and attentive and the food is delicious. We had a platter with a glass of wine and the choice was great. Highly recommended!

Coming to this hidden gem bar regularly and each time we have great time. This time we had one of their platters that turned to be great choice for nibble to our cocktails...... Raspberry Cosmo is a must try!!!!

I haven't had food, but always have a drink prior to Proms. Staff are friendly and drinks reasonably priced for a venue location. Plenty of stools to perch on around the edges.

Another fantastic visit to the BBR! All staff were welcoming and service very prompt. Thank you all.

Another wonderful experience in BBR - great and friendly service, delicious food and welcoming atmosphere. You never disappoint!

We had drinks/burgers in BBR on Friday, 26th July. The service was excellent. Daniele gave us a warm welcome. He was very professional and kind. Although the bar was very busy the burgers came fast. The food was brilliant. I highly recommend it!!!

We were having a pre- concert dinner at the Albert Hall. Two of us ordered ‘Posh Fish Fingers’ and one of us ordered the Chicken Burger. The fish fingers were supposed to be Hake, served on a Brioche Bun with mushy peas and mint, salad, cole slaw and crisps. The fish fingers were luke warm, tasteless, mostly breadcrumbs, the salad was a sprig of watercrest. The cold slaw was quite nice, but served in a minute pot on the side of the plate, almost invisible. There were plenty of crisps. I can make more nutritious fish fingers using frozen at home. When my friend ordered she requested fish fingers in a brown bread sandwich - she was given smoked salmon with no bread! She re-ordered the fish fingers and they took 20 mins to arrive. The waiter gave her a small bottle of Diet Coke in recompense. The only thing ‘posh’ about the fish fingers was the price £16.50 ! Exorbitant. Luckily our evening was not ruined because our prom concert was fantastic.

We thoroughly enjoyed the Arena Burger we ate here before the proms 8 . The staff were very friendly and efficient , the place clean and the service good . Although the food menu is not extensive the bar menu is and it would be a comfortable place for a drink before a performance . A very pleasant experience .

We had drinks and a light pre dinner meal here. It is in the basement of the Royal Albert Hall,very nicely decorated and a good location to where we were sitting. Small menu but we had the chicken and beef burgers which are small and served with warm waffle style potato crisps and perfect if you don't want to feel too full. I had the house G & T served with Lime which was a lovely, long and cool drink. Dessert was a Lemon and Elderflower Posset which was absolutely gorgeous. Reserving a table is a must.

Arrived at the RAH on Sunday without booking a table and popped in to Rudd Bros in the hopeful chance we could be squeezed in. We were greeted with a warm welcome and thankfully offered seats on the ledge. A fab experience from start to finish. I have to recommend the posh fishfinger sandwich washed down with a mojhito royale. Fabulous pre show food in a well run, relaxed environment.

What a stunning place for lunch. A convenient location matched by the grandeur of the building .... highly recommended.

Pre-Show dinner. Limited menu choice for food but lots of drinks on offer. Booking needed and also pre-book interval drinks which are waiting for you, saving time. Very good service from Gisella. Would return.

Due to extreme traffic we arrived too late for lunch. This bar was suggested by one of the stewards as it would be easier as I was in a wheelchair and the other bar was very busy. Limited choice but quick service and food tasty in calm atmosphere.

I've been at RAH recently with some friends to see Cinderella and had some food at the bar before the show. Everything was delicious, including the cocktails. Great service - thank you Teodora! - and a perfect way to start our night. Can't wait to be back!

Me and a friend came to attend a show late may. we booked a table in the berry brothers bar, we where greeted and showed to our table by Daniele, whom looked after us the rest of the evening. Our drinks arrived quickly and they where amazing. Later our bartender came to introduce himself (Teo), which was really lovely and personal. we noticed later the service got a little busy and it took slightly longer for our drinks to arrive. we felt they where most likely understaffed. But it was a lovely experience and i would really recommend the cocktails!!

Excellent experience.. from walking in the door and being greeted by the staff, seated and drink order taken, was maybe 3 minutes. Thanks to Daniele who served us! He has been very friendly and helpful!

I visited this place couple of weeks ago with a friend, Upon our arrival Daniele welcomed us with the most professional and warm greetings making the experience from the very beginning pleasant and enjoyable. I would definitely consider this place again. Fast service and amazing cocktails.

We went for drinks before the show, the cocktails were great! The service was also impeccable, the staff was great, especially Adolfo. I really enjoyed the atmosphere and would definitely recommend it.

Great athmosphere and very good service from Teddy. My fav place for preshow drinks and quick bite. Definitely recommend

The man who served us at the bar was Rodrigo. Extremely pleasing and welcoming person. Friendly service, wonderful atmosphere. We had lovely cocktails I strongly recommend the bar, but make a reservation because it is very busy.

Good service from Thea but the most expensive and tasteless beef burger I have ever had. £50 for 2 beefburger, with a few bits of lettuce,and a couple of fruit drinks. Never again.

Estuvimos aquí para una noche de comedia para la confianza del cáncer en la adolescencia y fuimos a Berry Bros y al restaurante y restaurante Rudd No 3 para comida y bebidas antes del espectáculo.

Thanks to our waiter Daniele, who looked after us very well, we enjoyed our Royal Albert Hall pre-gig drinks and again in the interval. Prices were high but guess you have to expect this for the convenience of being in the same building.

We booked a table in the Arena Bars and were seated in Berry Bros. and Rudd No.3 Bar. Lovely ambiance, delicious cocktails and amazing service. The Strawberry Daiquiri was spot on! My friend is vegetarian and I'm vegan so we were offered the Veg platter which was so good. They have a big whiskey selection as well. Our waiter Daniele was very attentive and friendly, which only added to our experience!

We reserved a table for four in the Arena bar before the Take That concert,. We turned up promptly and got a great seat in the Berry Bros & Rudd bar - leather sofas and armchairs! Sam and Iltna provided service that was both fast and friendly. Whilst the food choice is a little limited, the wine list is excellent for a concert venue.

Our waiter SAM was most helpful, we could not fault him. He made enquiries when we had queries re grapefruit in the gin that was detrimental to my health. We required gluten free options he made suggestions and the kitchen adjusted the menu to accommodate, perfect service throughout and the food was good. The only minor issue was because Sam was very busy when we asked for the check, the waiter Daniele came to our table and presented it to us along with the review feedback card with his name on it and he did not mention Sam to us which we found disappointing, we acquired our waiters name (Sam) in order to review his excellent service.

We decided to dine on site when we visited the Albert Hall recently for a concert and picked this bar to have a pre theatre meal - we were not disappointed- from the incredibly speedy, welcoming service to the great waitress service ( thank you Sara) to the lovely meal and huge selection of great wines - our visit was a real success. A great start to a wonderful evening - thoroughly recommend

Very good food (vegetarian sharing platter) if a bit pricey served by enthusiastic and attentive staff (Daniele in particular)

Visito el Royal Albert Hall varias veces al año y siempre recibo aquí mis bebidas / comida antes del show. Lugar elegante, siempre le servirá rápidamente despreciar la cantidad de personas allí. La última vez tuve el placer de ser atendido por un gerente (Teodora en ese momento) que maneja el bar como una máquina bien aceitada. El menú de comida es simple y sabroso. Asegúrese de reservar una mesa si planea comer algo antes del espectáculo.

Wow...what a venue. Lovely and stylish bar hidden away below auditorium. Lovely ambiance and amazing cocktails... Will definitely visit again

When going for a gig to Royal Albert Hall, make sure you came a little earlier and don’t miss drinks at Berry Braders Bar. Friendly staff, top service, nice cocktails and cause atmosphere. It really enhances the whole night out experience.

Gran decoración, servicio, ambiente.

We arrived at our reserved table. We both ordered the burger which arrived very quickly. They were both luke warm so I sent mine back. Very quickly another arrived at the correct temperature. This doesn’t make for a good start and I lost my confidence. Please don’t be in such a rush that the food isn’t served with care. The Royal Albert Hall is a beautiful place and the restaurants should match.

Expensive for what it was, good service but left us feeling underwhelmed. We felt it could have been special but fell short.

The staff are exceptionally accommodating, and go out of their way to help. Everyone is very personable, combined with the fantastic food and drink, is an all round superb experience. A great place to come prior to the proms!

I'm not going to sugar coat it, the bar itself is pretty lame. The food was terrible and I couldn't muster the energy to stare at the bull dog statue anymore. If it wasn't for the friendly young woman walking around the restaurant (Laura), I would have left. She made my night! Very helpful/polite! And we spoke about Australia which took me back to my youthful days travelling!

We had dinner before a show a few days ago, wine list is good, not cheap but then again a wide selection of really good wines, but food is to be avoided, we had the fish platter between two which was so expensive we thought we would be able to share between us, but there was so little food in in it we had to order a main course, and it only got worse after that, we ordered the burger which was pretty expensive, I can't remember when was the last time we had such a terrible burger, wow, so so bad, I had to put so much ketchup on it to hide the poor meat quality. It's a shame as we love having a nice glass of wine in such a fab environment but we'll stick to wine next time we visit and we will definitively avoid the overpriced bad food. So sorry to make a not positive review, as wine was fab and service is also good... Hope they do something about this issue, as people here seem to make lots of comments on the food and mainly on that "burger", to call it something...

Don’t touch the burger. Think cat food would be better. Made a complaint and if I wasn’t so hunger and the concert was about to start, I would have sent it back.

Reservamos una mesa para comprobar la comida aquí concierto y bebidas. Es gratis para reservar y sin duda merecen la pena para conseguir un espacio en el bar ya que se lleno. El servicio es excelente.

Celebró una palabra hacer aquí para directores y esposas.

Fuimos a ver el Cirque de Soliel, pero quería comer antes. Fuimos a Berry Bros situado en la planta baja del Royal Albert Hall. Gran lugar. Mi marido y yo tuvimos sandwich de filete y una hamburguesa. Muy sabrosa. También teníamos una botella de vino que no termine así esta fue tomada detrás de la barra. En el intervalo que volvimos a Berrys y la mesa que teníamos originalmente estaba reservada para nosotros con nuestra botella de vino. Nunca tuve una experiencia tan buena en el intervalo de un espectáculo. No hay complicaciones. No hay colas en el bar, muy relajado. Nuestro camarero Tosin era precioso, como todo el personal. Gran experiencia en todos los aspectos. Mostrar también fue excelente.

Had drinks and food before a show - not cheap but lovely atmosphere and food was really good. Great place to start evening

Handy for a snack before the show but the menu is very basic and let down by serving crisps instead of fries.

Very nice bar staff a bit slow different staff to take drinks order from food order can make the whole thing a bit slow and confusing and disjointed if you have a Tab they take your card put it in a box and then give you a key which is a good idea in theory but so slow when you need to pay the bill our food order was never taken so spoke to the manager who was very good and offered a free drink as a gesture of good will could fault her at all but they really need to make things work better it just takes to long menu choice very limited! Good enough for a pre- show drink but thats about it!

I will not be choosing this place again for a pre-show meal. It might seem convenient but it will not add to your evening's enjoyment. Two greasy burgers served with a few crisps, a large red wine, a beer and some water comes to sixty-plus (yes 60+) quid. A total rip off. Service was unacceptably slow which just makes it annoying when the mandatory 15% service charge is added to the bill. I will stick to the many good pubs, bars and restaurants in the surrounding area on my next visit to the hall!

Pre concert dinners are not usually much to write home about but this one was also compounded by the high prices. Service was friendly and generally good but the food was terrible and ridiculously overpriced. £60 for a few drinks , average salad and "steak sandwich" that a fast food outlet would be ashamed of. Dirty wine glass compounded the problems. One of these days the Albert Hall will distribute franchises worthy of the venue. Surprised that BBR lend their name to it.

We arrived on a busy night pre concert and it appeared most tables were reserved. When we asked about food...

Summary: Book - looked like all tables were reserved. Pleasant surroundings, tasty savoury food, basic with minimal accompaniments, puddings ok....

También conocido como el bar bodega porque como su nombre indica, está en el sótano del Royal Albert Hall. Tiene un ambiente agradable, con mesas y taburetes altos principalmente en vez de sentar un buen restaurante; hemos estado aquí antes para tomar una copa antes...

Atractivo para una noche y un entre noche Prom. Se llena así que encontrar un asiento puede ser un desafío. Berry Bros. ofrecen una gama de vinos interesantes de excelente calidad. Vale la pena visitar mientras en el Roayal Albert Hall.

Durante el Proms que venga aquí la mayoría de las noches de concierto y el intervalo bebidas. BB&R; son sinónimo de buenos vinos, pero en ocasiones puede ser decepcionante y vinos blancos sirven demasiado caliente y no me gusta llorar por mi vino con hielo. Los precios son absurdamente caro. Cuatro pequeñas bebidas medida que te costará alrededor de £28, así que me siento como si mi bolsillo ha sido elegido en una noche "barato" con un abono en el proms.
