About this space

Back Room is an Event Space in Strange Brew, a compact, adaptable side room defined by an open, flexible floor and clear sightlines.

Design: The Back Room has an industrial, gallery-style interior: white-painted walls, a raw concrete floor and exposed ceiling beams. The space is punctuated by framed artworks and coloured accent lighting that gives the room visual focus.

Features: The room includes a PA system and speakers, Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. The layout provides a usable dancefloor area and allows external music or a brought-in DJ. The space has a step-free guest entrance, is wheelchair accessible and includes accessible toilets.
