About this space

Whisky Room and Booths is a private lounge in The Kilburn defined by a compact, intimate scale that creates a contained space for groups.

Design: The room has dark painted timber panelling, deep upholstered banquettes and tall arched windows. A sculptural mid-century pendant and a sunburst mirror provide focal points against the panelling.

Features: The space uses freestanding barrel-top tables and loose chairs to allow flexible seating and circulation. The room receives natural light through its tall windows, is air-conditioned, permits own-music playback, and is wheelchair accessible.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, conversational format that mixes seated banquettes and a central standing area.

What sets it apart: A dedicated back bar of curated, rare whiskies provides an unusually extensive on-site tasting selection for events.

What guests say: The room receives attentive service and maintains a welcoming, social atmosphere. The space supports clear sightlines and reliable sound for group activities.
