The Flipside is a private Lounge in the Mesmerist that functions as a compact, self-contained bar-style lounge for small private groups.
Design: The Flipside's interior combines a saturated orange palette, patterned curtains and framed retro prints with a mix of low sofas, small round tables and wicker lounge chairs.
Features: A fixed PA system and speakers support music playback and announcements. The space includes a compact dance area alongside a variety of lounge and café-style seats. Air conditioning, natural daylight and Wi‑Fi are provided.
Ideal for: Friend groups and small work teams seeking a relaxed, social, music-forward reception with space to mingle and dance.
What sets it apart: The Flipside allows external DJs and private music setup, enabling hosts to bring their own equipment and playlists.
What guests say: The Flipside benefits from helpful, flexible staff who accommodate setup and early access. The Flipside delivers a lively, colourful atmosphere, though guests have reported occasional intermittent sound-volume issues.

I had my birthday party here in the birdcage function room upstairs. It’s such a lovely room and a hidden gem! A lot of people didn’t know it was there! It’s got everything you need with a private bar, buffet menus, the team kindly organises a DJ for me and make the booking process super easy and stress free! 100% recommend!
Can’t think of anything! It was all fantastic and staff are lovely!

Yes, pre-paid tabs are welcome. The venue needs to know the tab value and will send a card link; the same deadline applies to tabs.
Yes, guests can provide their own DJ.
Yes, an aux lead is available behind the bar, but it is not easily accessible during the hire while bartenders are serving guests. We recommend preparing a playlist covering the full event so it can be started and left running.
