A new contender for the title of 'world's smallest pub' has opened its doors in London just in time for the festive season. The aptly named Three Jingle Bells has popped up at Flat Iron Square in Southwark, offering an incredibly intimate drinking experience in a space measuring less than eight feet squared.
A Snug Festive Experience
The micro-pub is so compact that it can accommodate only a single bartender and a maximum of three customers at any one time. Due to the minuscule size of the bar, the draught offering is limited to just two beers, both supplied by Camden Town Brewery. For those wanting to secure a spot in this unique venue, 45-minute slots for up to three people can be booked from Thursday to Saturday, with a holding fee of £10 per person.
Part of a Larger Winter Wonderland
If the tiny tavern is full, patrons need not wander far. The Three Jingle Bells is situated at the end of the main bar in Flat Iron Square and forms part of a significant seasonal transformation of the area. The entire outdoor terrace has been turned into a 'Yuletide Yard', complete with a Christmas tree, hanging mistletoe, and neon fairground signs.
The larger bar will serve a range of bespoke Christmas cocktails, including a Cinnamon Bun Espresso, a Winter Berry Martini, and a Jameson Irish Coffee. The festive programme also promises live entertainment such as a Michael Bublé tribute act, karaoke, DJ sets, and 'speed-quizzing' sessions.
Festive Food and Final Dates
For hungry visitors, a menu of Yuletide specials will be available. Options include a pork and fennel sausage pizza with shredded Brussels sprouts, southern fried chicken with cranberry sauce, and a Greek Christmas wrap.
The charmingly small Three Jingle Bells will be serving festive cheer at Flat Iron Square until December 22, 2025, making it a perfect, if brief, holiday novelty for Londoners and visitors seeking a uniquely cosy pint.
