About this space

The Back Bar is a private Bar in No 32 defined by a compact, lounge-orientated layout that keeps the room focused on small-group socialising.

Design: The interior presents a muted, classic look featuring wide-plank wood floors, exposed ceiling beams and geometric pendant lights. The floor is arranged with stepped levels that form small raised seating alcoves rather than a single open plane.

Features: A staffed timber bar counter serves drinks while movable round tables and leather lounge chairs allow the layout to be reconfigured. The room includes Wi‑Fi, wheelchair access, accessible toilets and a step-free guest entrance.

Ideal for: Intimate to mid-size social groups seeking relaxed, informal standing receptions or low-key seated evenings.

What sets it apart: An integrated PA system and an open floor area configured for live music or DJ sets.

What guests say: The space is stylish, clean and welcoming. The staff are attentive and friendly, improving the overall experience.
