They say no two parties look the same in the Northern Quarter. And there’s a good reason for that. Party venues here come in all shapes, sizes, and at different price points. Think neon-lit basement bars where the DJ keeps the energy high, restaurant terraces serving up the best espresso martinis, and private lofts decked out for stylish dinner parties. Throwing a big birthday bash? Book a warehouse-style space near Stevenson Square with a private dance floor. Want something classy and intimate? Grab a chic dining room on Thomas Street where the cocktails flow and the food steals the show. With Tagvenue, it’s all in your hands—filter, save, and book the best venue to match your style.

Great space, central and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Great night 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Staff amazing Timing great Venue was clean and great size Great atmosphere even when room not full Communication great
Clean and exceptionally helpful and professional in all aspects of their service. Great communication.
Everything about it. Lydia was amazing during the hiring process, venue was perfect. Great vibes and Bar staff and managers were so accommodating to me and my people! Thank you all so much.
I was definitely a very annoying client with my constant queries but the team at Twenty Twenty Two were so lovely and accommodating to my every need! I hired the room for a surprise birthday party for my partner and I couldn't recommend the service and facilities enough. I was able to view the room weeks before and also decorate the room earlier in the day. Thanks to everyone at Twenty Twenty Two for helping me create a really special night, my partner was so impressed as well that he wants me to pass on his thanks!
