About this space

The Front Bar is a traditional pub space for casual gatherings. Its defining character is an old-school, lived-in setting rather than a polished function room.

Design: Dark timber panelling, patterned carpet and tiled flooring create a traditional interior. Pendant lights, exposed ceiling details and framed pub memorabilia add visual character.

Features: A fixed timber bar runs along one side of the room. Tables and chairs support seated drinks and informal conversation, while wall-mounted screens provide entertainment.

Ideal for: The space suits casual groups gathering for informal drinks and conversation across a mix of seated and standing areas.
