The Curtains Up

About

Nestled in the heart of West Kensington, The Curtains Up is a celebrated gastropub that marries historic charm with modern flair. From its modest beginning as a theatre‑pub in the early 20th century, it has grown into a beloved neighbourhood hotspot, offering a seasonally‑crafted menu of British classics alongside a polished selection of wines, ales, craft beers and cocktails. The intimate Barons Court Theatre, tucked beneath the pub, delights theatre‑goers with 60 seats that wrap around the stage, making it an idyllic pre‑show or after‑show stop. Whether you’re a casual drinker, a food enthusiast, or a cultural commuter heading to the theatre, The Curtains Up provides a welcoming space with free Wi‑Fi, a dog‑friendly kitchen, and ample high‑chairs for families. Lively events such as quizzes, live music nights and Christmas celebrations enrich the atmosphere, while the open‑plan dining area and cosy bar create a relaxed setting for pre‑or post‑theatre drinks. The pub’s open hours run Monday to Saturday from 11:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m., with Sunday closed at 10:30 p.m. Food service is available 11:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., ensuring plenty of time to enjoy a brunch, lunch or a full dinner experience. Whether you’re catching a show, attending a party, or simply looking for a satisfying bite, The Curtains Up offers a dynamic experience that thoughtfully blends gastronomy, community, and theatrical heritage.
