About this space

Private Lounge, a Lounge in the Temperance Hotel, an enclosed private function room separated from the main bar that provides a self-contained space.

Features: The room includes Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, natural light from windows, a PA/speaker system and permission to play your own music. The furniture is configurable and comprises a long central table, folding chairs and perimeter banquettes, and heavy curtains allow control over ambient light.

Ideal for: Small groups wanting a private indoor room arranged for seated meetings or a relaxed, social reception.

What sets it apart: A ceiling-mounted projection screen and a small raised performance area supply a built-in focal point for presentations or live acts.

What guests say: The lounge has a cool, lively atmosphere and attentive, professional staff.

Pub · 38 guests · May 2026

The venue was beautiful, the staff catered for my needs the whole night, and it was truly an unforgettable night. It went too quickly.

Little details like cake being served on napkins instead of plates made it a bit hard to eat. Another hiccup was my guests started eating from the dietaries table as it was not labelled clear enough.

Party · 60 guests · October 2025

We had a wonderful time and cannot praise the staff at the temperance hotel highly enough. Annaliese was very responsive, the bar staff were friendly and attentive and a special shout out goes to the lovely security men who helped our elderly guests find and get their ubers home. They really went above and beyond. The red velvet room itself was gorgeous and the food was a big hit. We had rave reviews from all of our guests.
