Verified Reviews of Unusual Venues in Shoreditch
Location is good. The bar manager was very helpful when trying to resolve the issue with the minimum spend refund.
The space looks great. It has lots of interesting features but is versatile enough to do lots with (I put on an exhibition here to propose). Simon and the team at Cobalance were lovely. Really helpful and friendly :)
Brilliant venue right in the heart of Old St!. Large room, nice snug and private bar. Our barman was amazing too. Highly recommend this place. We had 40 people and there was enough tables and chairs for all and standing room too. Will use again.
The event was great! And venue looked amazing! Staff made everything run smoothly and were so extremely helpful! Massive shoutout to Matt who even managed to get the piñata up! Thank you so much x
Absolutely loved my 49 3/4 unbirthday at looking glass! Loved my specially named cocktails, the food was fabulous and staff were wonderful! Booking from Hong king I had no idea about what the venue looked like - so was entranced by the actual giant looking glass to enter the venue! The recommendation for the Dj was fantastic! Thanks to the whole team!!
Lovely venue, great service, good value for money would def book again for a big group
The facilities are first rate. The staff are really welcoming and made us, as a group, feel that nothing was too much trouble. A great venue with a great vibe.
