Be At One Cocktail Bars was founded in 1998 by three well-seasoned bar tenders who were determined to bring back fantastic customer service and consistency to the cocktail bar trade, particularly after the arrival of design rather than customer-led style bars. Be At One understood the need for something a little bit different; somewhere the guests could rely on a warm greeting, great drinks and a place where a handshake and classic tunes were more important than a design feature. In May 1998 Be At One, Battersea opened its doors, situated on Battersea Rise just near the Northcote Road Junction. The bar was an instant success, offering something new to the area and providing an inviting and friendly atmosphere. The Be At One chain has gone from strength to strength opening bars across London, expanding across the South (Reading, Brighton, Oxford and Milton Keynes) the West (Bristol, Bath and Cardiff), and the recent expansion in to the North and Midlands (Sheffield, Manchester, Birmingham, Leeds and Liverpool).
