About this space

VIP Bar, a semi-private Bar in Carousel Bar & Ballroom, is defined by an intimate, low-lit club-style interior that separates it from the main room.

Design: The space has deep red patterned walls, dark carpeting and low pendant lights that give it a compact, club-like look. The seating mixes leather banquette benches and high stools around small round tables, and framed artwork punctuates the walls.

Features: The VIP Bar contains its own service counter for drinks and a PA system with speakers, and it permits guest music or a bring-your-own-DJ setup. The space also provides air conditioning and venue Wi‑Fi to support music-led events and longer hire periods.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or an informal seated drinks gathering in a semi-private club-style setting.

What sets it apart: A curtained entry creates a secluded enclave that can be closed off from the ballroom for a more private experience.

What guests say: The VIP Bar delivers strong sound and lighting that support high-energy music nights. The space has friendly bar staff and reliable air conditioning during long events.
