Verified Reviews of Birthday Party Venues in Northern Quarter
The vibe of the room was perfect, easy to use projector, staff were really helpful and friendly throughout- also great pizzas downstairs!
Really liked the venue, the privacy and being able to set up from 12pm on the day of the party. I liked being able to use our own playlists via Spotify. I liked that I could come back the next day to collect my belongings/decorations
The staff were SOOOO LOVELY. Ruben was just on such good form the whole night and so is accommodating - nothing was too much trouble
The space was perfect for our event and the bar staff were always on hand, food was delicious. Would absolutely go again! Met the minimum spend as we pre ordered food then the drinks on the night made up the difference so great value.
Perfect space for a birthday party - staff were super on it and couldn’t be more helpful and we had a brilliant night!
We throughly enjoyed our private birthday event at The Shack. The whole team were friendly and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. No request was too much.
They were so helpful from start to finish, being responsive with my enquiries and also so helpful on the night (even when we were a very drunken crowd). The space was even much better than the pictures showed!
