Bars at Theatre Royal

The Matcham Stalls Bar
Open 45 minutes before showtime, the Matcham Bar is your main spot for drinks and snacks. There are wines, spirits, beers, soft drinks and light bites all served with a warm welcome.

The Phipps Dress Circle Bar
Upstairs and a little more laid-back, the Phipps Bar offers a great range in a quieter setting with seating. Perfect for a relaxed start or a mid-show recharge.

Top Tip: Beat the rush. Pre-order your interval drinks at either bar before the show starts – just speak to the team.
