Outstanding venue for a private function. Staff were incredibly helpful in pre-event organising, during bump in and on the night. Comments from many guests were "What a great venue!"
Nothing. They were great and the event was a huge success!

The vibes here are amazing, and the staff is incredibly friendly. I received so many compliments from guests about the venue, and the sound system was unexpectedly high-quality. Erika was fantastic with communication and handled every question I had with ease. Highly recommend!

We hosted our wedding reception here and have no hesitation in recommending to anyone considering hosting here as well. Aside from the natural charm of the architecture, the staff helped us in creating a vibrant atmosphere and ensuring everything ran smoothly on the night. We had around 90 guests, and utilising the main bar and mezzanine level gave us ample room to socialise, dance and move around freely without feeling too crowded, or too spaced apart. We had the DJ booth set up in the main bar, and our photobooth upstairs, encouraging guests to move between areas without anything feeling intrusive. The booths and seating throughout allowed us and our guests to have space to retreat or find quieter moments throughout the night We were totally taken care of in terms of our catering and drinks and were able to create a bespoke set for our night using a mixture of the canape and platter menu, bar tab and pre-purchased wines. These were delivered with precision against our run sheet, and the cocktails were definitely a huge hit. Something that stood out for us on the night was how swiftly they helped in getting additional items out on the floor that weren't originally included in our amounts.

Private Party · 250 guests · August 2025 · Club
We absolutely loved our experience at Arcade Bar & Club. Erika was amazing to work with - so helpful, responsive, and supportive throughout the whole process. The event itself was a massive success thanks to the incredible help of the venue. The space was perfect, everything ran smoothly, and our attendees had such a great time that many have already talked about booking the venue themselves for future events. Couldn’t recommend highly enough! The staff - and especially the security guards - were so lovely and welcoming. Their energy, professionalism, and overall vibe made the night even better. They really went above and beyond, and we’re so grateful for their contribution to making the event such a success.
