XP Tavern, a gaming lounge, bar, and esports hub, has opened its doors in East London.

The venue aims to become a central space for London’s video gaming communities, offering both competitive and casual experiences. Its main attraction, The Hexagon, features 15 high-spec PCs ideal for LAN parties, tournaments, and community nights. There’s also a PC Bootcamp Room for team training, and console booths offering a more laid-back gaming option with food and drinks available.

XP Tavern also includes social areas with board games and a cocktail bar serving original drinks, pizzas, and inclusive menu options such as vegan, halal, and vegetarian plates.

Founded by Mykyta Slobodskyi and operated by Alisa Oleksiuk, XP Tavern is built with inclusivity in mind.

“We built XP Tavern as a space where gamers and non-gamers alike can come together,” said Slobodskyi.
