About this space

Casa Focolare is a neighbourhood bar organised along a long, narrow plan that channels movement from the entrance through a single continuous space.

Design: The interior pairs white-painted exposed brick and timber surfaces beneath a low, black-painted ceiling. The floor changes from patterned tiles at the service area to light herringbone wood along the main aisle, and narrow proportions create an intimate, focused circulation.

Features: An in-house PA system and speakers are available for music and announcements. The venue permits guests to play their own music or to hire a DJ, subject to noise restrictions. Amenities include Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a modest dance area, and a step-free guest entrance that keeps the space wheelchair accessible.

Ideal for: Creative groups and social circles seeking an informal standing reception or a relaxed mix of seating and dancing.

What sets it apart: A dedicated wall-hanging system allows the venue to function as a small gallery for rotating artwork exhibitions.

What guests say: The venue feels relaxed and comfortable and maintains a cosy, vibing interior. The bar's layout is easygoing and welcoming.

21st Birthday Party · 30 guests · December 2025

Fantastic venue! The staff was welcoming, communicative, and accommodating, the space was spacious and nicely decorated, and the menu was reasonably priced. I booked this place for my 21st birthday, and I would 100% book again!!

Nothing.

Gabriel was the perfect host! From start to finish, everything was smooth and well executed. To book I must have asked him at least 100 questions and he always answered promptly and thoroughly. He was extremely patient and professional. He was also extremely flexible. He offered his in house dj for a very reasonable price but we got our own simply because we wanted specific music type. He was always honest and told us his dj is more Latin and since we wanted more Bollywood it might be best to get our own. The location already had great speakers, mics and he spoke with our dj before the event to clarify everything from their set up perspective. We got a combination of our own food and ordered wings and fries from the venue which were delicious! In hindsight, I should have just ordered the food from them because they have great options! We had a signature drink which Gabriel suggested Cantorito and everyone loved them! They were delicious, huge and very refreshing! We had shots and other drinks which were very reasonably priced, especially for downtown. He was also extremely flexible about the use of venue space. Bar24 is actually a beautiful venue and doesn't need much decor to begin with, it's much better than the pictures! We were able to move tables around, play our games and set up the night exactly as we wanted. I wanted a house party style 40th birthday in downtown and that's exactly what this venue delivered thanks to Gabriel. He also had extra staff to help, bartender was also awesome! He was very patient, understanding and overall the best host I have ever had the pleasure of working with! He clarified the full bill and there were no surprise charges. Everything was amazing and straightforward! I would recommend this venue to everyone, it is excellent and Gabriel is the perfect host!

Birthday Party · 30 guests · July 2026

We hosted my husband’s 30th birthday here and it was absolutely amazing! The food was outstanding, and we received so many compliments from our guests throughout the night. Everything was delicious, and the service was just as impressive. The staff were incredible to work with, and a special shoutout to Gabriel, who went above and beyond to help make the night so special. He was so accommodating, helpful, and made the entire planning process so easy. We couldn’t have asked for a better place to celebrate such a special milestone. Highly recommend! 🎉❤️

Loved the staff and the comfortable and versatile seating options. We had a great social at Bar24, some deep in community discussions, and others watching the game. Communication with the venue before and during the event was superb.
