Birthday Party · 30 guests · December 2025

Communication was super easy with Brendan. The venue was absolutely stunning and very budget friendly. Loved the partially private lounge. The staff were absolutely awesome. The mager was so kind that evening, and the bar staff Rory was an absolute legend!

Party · 20 guests · May 2026

I organised a small 40th party for my partner in the Gold Bar. The venue was fantastic and the cocktails were amazing. I personally appreciated the assistance given by Brendan in organising and the suggestions with the set up.

The DJ's music wasn't amazing but I guess that comes down to personal taste in music.

FAQ

Yes. The venue uses one sound system throughout, and the reserved bar area is adjacent to the dance floor.

Yes. You are welcome to decorate the reserved area as much as you like, provided nothing damages the walls and there is no glitter or confetti.

No. A guest list is the only option available to arrange in advance, but a suitable area should be available for guests to use once they arrive.

No. Cocktail-bar music is played before the DJ, and the venue's single sound system means clients cannot control the music.
