Urban Pubs to launch Bat & Ball City in Tower Hill with £1m
Urban Pubs & Bars plans to transform the former BrewDog Tower Hill site into Bat & Ball City, with an opening scheduled for Wednesday 25 November. The venue will join the brand’s flagship sites in Stratford and Covent Garden, and marks a significant step in the group’s entertainment-led growth across London. Occupying an 8,500 sq ft space in a neo-Gothic building, the site previously housed BrewDog’s first UK brewpub, which opened in May 2018. Bat & Ball City is designed to cater for after-work drinks and smaller gatherings as well as large corporate events and Christmas parties, offering a versatile entertainment destination in one of central London’s busiest commercial districts. The venue aims to combine live sport, food and drink with a premium pub environment in a single destination. Urban Pubs & Bars CEO Chris Hill said the expansion grows the Bat & Ball footprint in London and brings the brand’s experience-led proposition to the heart of the City. The group, founded in 2014 by Nick Pring and Malc Heap, describes itself as London’s largest independent pub group and says it has created venues that celebrate individuality, quality food and drink, and a strong sense of place within local communities, with over 70 distinctive destinations across London.
