About this space

The Basement Bar & Restaurant is the whole-venue bar at Lady Libertine and a polished cocktail bar defined by a layered, split-level layout and a prominent bottle-lined back-bar.

Design: Interior features dark timber panelling, leather-upholstered bar stools and a mirrored, bottle-lined back-bar that creates a compact, refined appearance. Lighting sits low and warm from pendant lamps and recessed fixtures, emphasising the bar surfaces and shelving.

Features: A full-service bar runs the length of the main room and a fitted PA and speaker system supports guest music. A dedicated dancefloor is provided and external DJs or guest playlists are permitted. Wheelchair access, accessible toilets, Wi-Fi and air conditioning are installed.

Ideal for: Small social groups seeking a relaxed, bar-led standing reception that can move into music-led late-night socialising.

What guests say: The space is charming and characterful, combining a lively downstairs area with calmer upper seating. The staff are attentive and the layout accommodates both quiet conversation and music-led nights.
