Verified Reviews of Minimum Spend Venues in Camden
The location is great and the bar spend isn’t high if you have a good number of guests attending. They also have happy hour which is nice. The music was really good, I didn’t need to plug in my Spotify, that was a really nice touch. My guests enjoyed the drinks. Overall I’d say it’s a decent space to host your event but would be great if they address the dislikes.
The cocktail lounge was the perfect spot for my birthday party. A cosy room with nice soft lighting, comfy chairs and a fun playlist. Service was excellent and I’ll definitely be back!
Completely stress free event in a beautiful venue. Team were polite and friendly and accommodated all our needs.
