Beds and Bars Group

About Beds and Bars Group

We're proud to operate the St Christopher's Inns hostel chain, Belushi's bars and a number of other well known brands and services across Europe including The Flying Pigs, Winston, Mosaic House and Bauhaus.

Beds and Bars is a collective of companies and brands and we’ve been building our fun little empire for a while now. We are made up of St Christopher’s Inns – the largest independent chain of hostels in Europe, Belushi’s Bars, the Winston Hotel and nightclub and the Flying Pig Hostels in Amsterdam, the Bauhaus hotel, bar and hostel in Bruges and Interpub, the traditional pub arm of Beds and Bars.

Our company started back in 1964 with one traditional English Pub. Since then things have changed a bit.

In 1994 the first Belushi's bar opened in Covent Garden. Two years later the first St Christopher's backpacker hostel opened up in Southwark. By 1999 Beds and Bars had 6 Backpacker bars and 350 beds in London. Over the years Beds and Bars has expanded rapidly from a single site to a multi-unit, multinational organisation. Since 1999 we have spread throughout the UK and Europe to Newquay, Bath, Brighton, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, Bruges and Berlin. Paris Canal was our first purpose built hostel and nightclub. The doors opened at the start of 2008. Barcelona in 2012 and our new site, Gare du Nord in Paris opened in August 2013. In 2019, we also opened a second site in Berlin Mitte, a second hostel in Edinburgh Old Town, and a new Belushi’s bar in Edinburgh. In 2022 we proudly opened our newest site in Vienna.

Proud to be Investors in People Champion since 2010, and winner of the 2013 Best Employer Publican Award.
