About this space

Basement, a private sub-level event space in La Di Da, that provides a self-contained room separated from the venue's main floors.

Design: The space has a dark, club-style fit-out with low ceilings, polished timber floors and decorative ceiling foliage and string lighting that create an intimate, enclosed feel.

Features: The room includes an in-built PA system and club-grade speakers, Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. The layout provides booth-style seating around the edges and an open central floor area suitable for dancing or a standing reception; hosts may play their own music.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a music-forward, social gathering that blends standing reception and dancing in a compact nightclub-style setting.

What guests say: The space is stylish and versatile, and event staff are attentive and helpful. The room's sound system and layout sustain a lively dancefloor.

30th Birthday Party · 60 guests · July 2024
This was the perfect venue to celebrate my thirtieth. The staff was so kind caring and engaging, the food so delicious, the setting was exactly what I wanted. Ladida was the perfect venue for multiple reasons! I would recommend anyone looking at holding an event to check it out!

30th Birthday Party · 70 guests · May 2024
The team at La Di Da are so accommodating and welcoming! My whole experience was nothing but perfect and stress-free. The Basement space I used for my 30th Birthday event was perfect for the amount of people I had and could have fit another 40! Could not recommend more highly. Thank you so much Barry and team! 🙌🏼
