About this space

The Lounge and Bar is a semi-private lounge in JOEY Rideau characterised by distinct booth bays and open sightlines across the seating area.

Design: The interior pairs dark leather banquettes and round wooden tables with exposed brick walls, patterned tiled floors and low, warm pendant lighting. The ceiling shows timber beams and industrial ducting that sit above metal-framed glass partitions and a long counter area.

Features: The lounge has Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and plentiful natural daylight from large windows. The lounge provides step-free guest access, wheelchair-accessible circulation and accessible toilets. The layout comprises fixed booth bays and movable round tables so seating can be adapted to standing or seated arrangements.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social mix of seated dining and standing reception-style mingling.

What sets it apart: An in-room PA system and permission to bring an external DJ allow hosts to run curated playlists or DJ sets during private bookings.

What guests say: The lounge delivers attentive front-of-house service and a lively, convivial atmosphere, though the space can be noisy at peak times.
