Features: A fixed marble-topped bar counter anchors the space and is surrounded by mixed table and lounge seating. Built-in PA and speaker systems permit playing your own music or hiring a DJ, subject to the venue's noise restrictions. Guest Wi‑Fi and air conditioning are available, and the area provides step-free access and accessible toilets.

Christmas Dinner · 114 guests · December 2025
Very cooperative team. Easy to work with during the planning stage. Our guests were having a good time during the event.
Would be nice if they have spicy dishes and Asian items on the menu.

Christmas Party · 60 guests · December 2024
The pork was delicious, the staff were very accomodating and easy to communicate with. The whole night functioned very smoothly and was amazing from top to toe. I could not recommend this function more for a work christmas party!
