About this space

Poison Lounge is a small bar organised across a compact, multi-room layout that creates an intimate, informal setting.

Design: The interior pairs low ceilings and coloured accent lighting with mixed seating—wooden benches, upholstered chairs and small tables—arranged around a central stair to create distinct social zones.

Features: The venue provides a PA system and speakers and allows hosts to play their own music or bring a DJ, subject to a noise restriction. The layout includes a cleared area usable as a dance floor. The space also has Wi‑Fi, some natural light and a step‑free guest entrance.

Ideal for: Small social groups seeking a relaxed, music-led evening that can mix casual seating and a standing dance area.

What sets it apart: A canopy of international flags and hanging floral garlands forms a decorative overhead feature above the main area.
