Great service and atmosphere. We had a fantastic server Jack who somehow managed to keep the room fully stocked and take orders whilst also keeping non-guests away. The space was perfect for our event and we were able to set up our own DJ booth and perform on the sound system. We ordered food and it was all excellent quality, and drinks were very tasty. We also had a great experience booking the space with Kamila who was incredibly helpful and answered all our questions prior to the event.

Verified Reviews of Cocktail Party Venues in Hackney Borough
Excellent communication beforehand and great staff on day. Will definitely be going back for future events.
EVERYTHING! We booked this space for 74, all the staff were lovely, the food was amazing, vibes were INCREDIBLE! Honestly no complaints we had the best time would 10/10 recommend
We hosted our company Christmas drinks at the JubJub and everyone loved it (especially walking through the wardrobe door) The staff were lovely, the food was great, couldn't recommend it enough.
The space is stunning, bar staff and the evening set up was brilliant. Great space, could not recommend more!
The space is great and the facilities are really good. We had a brilliant day and everyone at the venue was really helpful. Christos left the space as discussed and I was able to go and view it beforehand, which was really helpful.
Our event was a great success! Everyone enjoyed themselves as we didn't a screening. We really enjoyed the upstairs and down stairs option for people to sit for the viewing. Roberto was very responsive and helpful.
The team is incredibly helpful and kind. I loved working with them. The space is beautiful, sleek and perfect for young artists and community focused initiatives.
