About this space

The Middle Bar is a semi-private bar area within 37 Dawson Street distinguished by its grand vertical scale and ornate decorative detailing.

Design: The space pairs exposed brick and dark timber flooring with deep-red drapery, velvet-upholstered seating and warm, low-level lighting. The interior reads as theatrical and visually busy, with eclectic decorative accents and bold signage.

Features: The Middle Bar includes Wi‑Fi and air conditioning and a dedicated PA system with speakers. The space permits hosts to supply their own music or to bring an external DJ. The installed sound setup supports DJ use and prerecorded playlists.

Ideal for: The Middle Bar suits music-minded groups seeking a relaxed, social reception or a DJ-led evening.

What sets it apart: A mezzanine-level overlook and a small stage provide an internal performance focal point that can be used for DJ sets or live music.
