Random question, but what theatres have cafes or just public spaces where you can go and sit or have a coffee even if you're not seeing a show?
I know the NT, Royal Court, Lyric Hammersmith, Bush and I think Kiln do. Bridge and Donmar don't (well the Donmar is probably too small). Commercial West End theatres tend not to have spaces like that, just bars for pre- and interval drinks.
Any others?

Theatre Royal Drury Lane has a lovely on called The Lane open all day and evening.

It does surprise me that new builds like The Bridge don't have a cafe of sorts to bring in revenue. I think Trafalgar's Olympia Theatre should have a cafe for people to eat or perhaps Nimax's new theatre although the latter is in a wider complex which might make it tricky to implement.

Hampstead, Southwark Playhouse, Young Vic, Arts, Almeida, Park. I'm not sure if all of them do coffee or more bar type drinks, but they all have spaces to chill/drink if not seeing a show.

Does the Barbican count even though it's more arts centre than theatre.

It was always possible to have a drink/snack/meal at The Bridge without seeing a performance but maybe things have changed post covid.
