Celebrated my wife's 30th birthday and it went amazing! From day 1 Simone provided all the right information and catered to every request without a hitch. On the day, the team went above and beyond to provide an incredible experience for us and the guests, everyone loved it. The place is really cool and fits the vibe we wanted and the food was really tasty. Will recommend and return in the future for sure.

Verified Reviews of Private Bars in Dalston
Host was very quick to respond and gave clear instructions for access. Room was clean, included several fans and chairs, a few electrical outlets, and good natural light.
Perfect size, it seemed bigger than the picture. Lovely and bright for self tapes. Excellent value for money.
The space was well lit, nice mirrors, chairs and furniture to use for set up if needed. Natural reverb if anyone needs to record a self tape.
Nice space- a little smaller than expected but good for rehearsal. The venue was great for communication
Fantastic venue with a keen attention to detail, the staff ensured that my birthday celebration went off without a hitch. From the first meeting with Simone until the end of the event, I would say I was pleasantly surprised and delighted.
Had the best 30th birthday here. The venue was perfect and the staff were absolutely amazing - couldn’t recommend more!
The entire team at Kraft provide a great venue for a birthday! Lovely staff, food topped off with great beers and drinks! Really helpful with any queries and was made to feel really relaxed when asking for any requests, that it would not be problem for them to sort! Thank you so much!
