Belushi's & The Dugout London Bridge

Belushi's and The Dugout sit at 161 Borough High Street — two minutes from London Bridge station and deep in the middle of one of London's liveliest nightlife strips. What makes the setup unusual is the layering: a street-level sports bar with screens, beer, and match-day energy upstairs, and a fully self-contained basement venue underneath with its own entrance, its own bar, and a 3am licence.

The Dugout at Belushi's London Bridge

The Dugout is the hire headline. A dedicated basement space with separate street-level access, it functions as a standalone venue rather than a roped-off section of a larger bar. Two large projectors, 4K Ultra HD screens with Sky Q and Dolby Atmos, a DJ booth, microphones, and a private bar give it genuine production capability for a space that tops out around 250 standing. Three lounge zones with sofas and beer fridges break the room into informal areas — useful for events that want energy without everyone standing in one mass. Tables and chairs clear to reveal a dancefloor, and beer pong tables add the kind of built-in activity that saves organisers from planning their own entertainment.

Late-Night Flexibility at The Dugout

The 3am licence is the practical differentiator. Most London Bridge venues wind down by midnight — The Dugout keeps going into the early hours Monday to Saturday, with a cloakroom and own WCs keeping everything self-contained. Combined with the fact that St Christopher's Inn accommodation sits in the same building, it's a setup that suits celebrations where the end time is deliberately left open. The Team Room (40 seated, 50 standing) underneath the main bar adds overflow or breakout capacity, and the Slice Bar at street level can extend into a third space for larger bookings.

What The Dugout Works Best For

This is a party venue, and it knows it. Corporate team nights, birthdays, Christmas dos, and sports screenings all land naturally here — the screens handle any major fixture, the DJ booth and sound system carry a proper club night, and the casual burger-and-pizza catering matches the energy. Conferences and presentations work too, with projectors and microphones handling the AV side, though the atmosphere is firmly informal. The value proposition is strong for budget-conscious bookings that want a late-night, self-contained space within walking distance of one of London's busiest transport hubs.
