A lively tavern for late-night drinks
Searching for Covent Garden bars that open until late? Make your way to Mr Fogg’s Market Tavern, where the bustle of one of London’s most famous markets carries on well into the evening.
Inspired by the merchants and trading posts encountered on Phileas Fogg’s travels, The Market Tavern is filled with original brickwork arches, cosy booths and intriguing treasures gathered from far and wide. Beyond lies the covered Courtyard Terrace, right beneath the iconic canopy of Covent Garden Market.
Its central location makes it particularly handy for after-work drinks, post-theatre gatherings and evenings spent exploring the West End. Covent Garden station is just a few minutes away, while Leicester Square and Charing Cross are also within walking distance. Settle in, gather your fellow explorers and see where the evening takes you.
Pints, punches & Nightcaps
Whatever your preferred late-night libation, Mr Fogg’s bartenders have ample provisions behind the bar.
Raise a perfectly poured pint of Guinness, embark upon one of Mr Fogg’s signature cocktails or gather your companions around a refreshing punch. The drinks menu brings together tavern favourites and adventurous concoctions, making the Market Tavern equally suited to a casual round after work and a rather more spirited Friday or Saturday night.
And for those who prefer their drinks alcohol-free, there are plenty of alternatives to see your expedition through.
The Guinness Saloon
Tucked away inside The Market Tavern, The Guinness Saloon offers another rather marvellous place to settle in for the evening.
At its heart is a dedicated Guinness bar and a live counter keeping track of every pint poured. Order the 1,000th Guinness and you will earn a place on Mr Fogg’s Wall of Fame alongside a complimentary round; reach the rather illustrious 10,000th pint and an all-expenses-paid trip to the Guinness brewery in Ireland awaits.
Tables in The Guinness Saloon are available to book, making it a rather splendid spot for settling in over a pint or two later in the evening.
Late-Night Bites
A lengthy expedition through Covent Garden calls for suitable sustenance.
Alongside your late-night drinks in Covent Garden, tuck into proper tavern fare including London-style beer-battered fish and chips, double-cooked chips and plenty of hearty additions designed for sharing around the table. Whether you have arrived hungry after the theatre or simply need something substantial before one final pint, Mr Fogg’s Market Tavern offers far more than drinks alone.
Please note the kitchen closes at 9pm.
