About this space

Starward Distillery & Bar is an industrial-style bar venue with high ceilings and an open-plan layout centred on long communal tables and a mezzanine level.

Design: The interior uses exposed steel columns, polished concrete floors and pendant lighting for a modern industrial look. The mezzanine and timber surfaces provide visual separation between standing and seated areas.

Features: The venue has a full bar and an in-house kitchen serving small plates and charcuterie. The venue provides a PA system and speakers and allows hosts to play their own music or bring an external DJ. The space benefits from natural light, step-free access and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or an informal seated small-plate dinner in a modern industrial setting.

What sets it apart: The venue includes an on-site working distillery that runs guided tours and a 'Fill Your Own Bottle' experience.

What guests say: The space is relaxed, stylish and welcoming. The service is knowledgeable and professional.
