Pretty good space for our production; host was very communicative and helpful; nice to have the whole downstairs to ourselves and the venue gave us autonomy with the rental. It's about noisy with regular patrons coming and going to the toilets downstairs but that's just a unique issue for rolling audio recording. Otherwise had a good experience.

Verified Reviews of Private Bars in East London
My entire experience with BOXPARK was fantastic. Considering it was a last minute plan, my organizer, Barbora, was efficient, friendly, and overall super helpful in ensuring my event was a great success. The venue itself was exactly what we were looking for, staff were lovely.
The venue was excellent - lots of space and great for hosting events. The bartending staff was so lovely and friendly to work with - they ensured my guests had a fantastic time during my event. The music speakers were perfect for dancing as well!
Amazing night for a 40th birthday celebration, made even better by the most accommodating team / hosts, who were very attentive and really went out of their way to ensure everyone was enjoying themselves. Memorable evening, cannot thank you all highly enough!
Staff were excellent on the night, supported with all requests and even went out of their way to set up a louder music system. My guests had a great time, and appreciated having a bar in the room so they weren’t having to go up and down the stairs.
Friendly staff, very helpful throughout the night (including Bouncer). Our guests really got along with the bar staff too :) Thank you for allowing us to design our own cocktail menu, it was a very nice touch!
Had my birthday party over the weekend at Temper. The food, staff, service and venue are all top drawer. The team at Temper went out of their way to make sure that every detail was perfect. Cannot recommend highly enough.
I really enjoyed the menu, the music, the fact that we had our own space and how the member of staff in charge of our booking was very attentive with me and my group.
