About this space

Spark Bar is a semi-private bar area in Sandown Park Hotel centred on a row of pool tables and an open-plan social layout.

Design: The space has an open-plan layout, timber flooring and low, dark-painted ceilings punctuated by recessed downlights and pendant lamps. Large wall-mounted screens and a mix of high tables and stools give a practical, sports-bar style interior.

Features: A dedicated service bar stocks beer, wine, spirits and non-alcoholic drinks. A PA system and an own-music policy allow playlists or a brought-in DJ, and the area includes a cleared space suitable for dancing. The space also includes air conditioning, free Wi‑Fi, step-free entry and accessible toilets.
