Where would you be working?
Muse at RSA House is London's best hidden gem cocktail bar, located within the historic Royal Society of Arts just off The Strand. Open Monday to Friday from 4–11pm, Muse offers a refined yet creative space where history meets modern mixology. Our cocktail menu, curated by renowned bartender Marcis Dzelzainis, champions British-grown ingredients, sustainability, and regenerative values, aligning with the RSA's charitable mission to work for the future of people, place and planet.

Muse is more than a bar. Its interiors blend Georgian heritage with contemporary design, creating an atmospheric backdrop of rich textures, warm lighting and characterful details. Guests enjoy not only inventive cocktails and small plates but also a cultural experience, surrounded by curated art and soundtracked by an ever-evolving programme of atmospheric music.

Adjoining spaces, such as the Tavern Room, make Muse a versatile destination for intimate gatherings, private parties and larger group events. Together, these elements create a setting that celebrates creativity, connection and culture at the heart of London.

Here's What TimeOut London Had To Say
"Muse is not your average brass-and-marble speakeasy. Just off The Strand, it's like stumbling into an elegant little laboratory dedicated to turning small-batch and sustainably sourced British spirits into memorable (and reasonably priced) cocktails. What marks it out is its location: right in the heart of the Royal Society of Arts, a Georgian temple to creativity that once counted Charles Dickens and Benjamin Franklin as regulars. Chat to the boss, Marcis Dzelzainis, or his long-time potion master Kevin Price-Houghton about foraged ingredients, their favourite Cotswolds eau de vie or Kentish rhubarb soda and it's clear they've embraced the RSA's spirit of high-IQ invention. Or just kick back at the end of a long work day with a classic martini (£9.50) and watch the world go by in a blur outside. You might just meet a genius."
