About this space

The Upstairs is a semi-private event space in The Lansdowne Hotel centred on a raised performance stage fitted with integrated theatrical lighting.

Design: The room is low‑ceilinged and compact, framed by exposed brick pillars and a mix of carpeted and timber flooring. The room's lighting uses directional spot and coloured fixtures that define activity areas.

Features: A built-in PA system and house speakers are installed. A bar counter and adjacent service area allow drinks to be served inside the semi-private area. Air conditioning, natural light and accessible toilets are provided, and the space operates under the venue's noise restrictions.

Ideal for: Small to mid-sized social groups seeking an informal, music-forward standing reception or a relaxed, partially seated gathering.

What guests say: The space is energetic during live-music nights. The space is also noted for its casual, performance-focused programming.
