Booked Entire Venue at Ringside

5.0

I couldn’t recommend this venue more for private events. The space inside is really nice and the owner, Harry, is a great bloke. Super nice and very accommodating. I hired the venue out for my birthday and everyone had a great time. Ringside are partnered with another company for catering and the food was also delicious. If anyone is looking for a nice bar for their event, this is the place!

Hanna D.

Booked The Glam Palace at Star by Liverpool Street

I had my 30th birthday party at the Star and was looked after so well by the staff during the lead up to the event and actually on the night! They helped ensure everything was perfect and that all drinks were captured for the bar spend, it was overall such a good evening and I would recommend the space to anyone wanting to throw a party!

Booked Private Floor at My Buzzspace

4.8

The location was fantastic, being a few minutes walk from Shoreditch High Street. It was a really lovely venue with lots of spaces for people to move about. Pictures were accurate and we had the entire space to ourselves. We used the venue to play a murder mystery game with my colleagues and that was absolutely brilliant. Would definitely come back for another event.

I would really recommend this venue. We used it for our wedding reception and it was excellent. The drinks & food were amazing, the staff were great & super helpful and in control on the day, and working with the events manager during the planning process was really easy and smooth. The venue is really well designed, very modern and cool. It is really handy they have a hotel attached. Overall it was perfect!

Isaac A.

Booked Whole Venue at The Dalston Lounge

Can’t recommend enough - great bar, super lovely staff, great cocktails, amazing food, brilliant location. Perfect venue for hiring out for parties, events etc. Booked for a birthday party and they were very accommodating and made the night run smoothly, even gifting me a bottle of Prosecco at the end of the night. Will definitely be returning soon!

Danielle C.

Booked Private Function Room at Kraft Dalston

I had a private birthday dinner and drinks and the staff was amazing and very friendly. Exceptional service from the manager and team, kept to my schedule, very organised and accommodating. All my friends complimented on the venue and the aesthetics. As the venue is connected to the hotel the events team helped me get a room for the night. I would highly recommend. Thank you for making my birthday a night to remember.
