More of a posh restaurant than a bar and note that the bar doesn't open until 5pm on Fridays & Saturdays, with the restaurant opening at 6pm. Afternoon teas are available before then but need booking in advance. At last review (October 2022) the premises was in the middle of re-branding from Grand Café to The Grand and with opening times changing so check latest website/social media for updates.

Downstairs is 'Ruby's at the Grand' - a cocktail bar open from 4pm Thursday to Sunday until late (Sunday closes 10pm). (Facebook @rubysatthegrand)

BBC South occupied a couple of floors from 1961 to 1991, and from 1998 it was converted to apartments. Grade II Listed. Historic England list entry 1302385.
