About this space

The Upstairs Bar is a Bar in DogTap Ellon centred on long communal timber tables that form a single open social area.

Design: The interior combines exposed industrial ceilings and visible ductwork with polished concrete floors and warm timber surfaces under linear pendant lighting for a straightforward taproom appearance.

Features: The space includes Wi‑Fi, natural daylight and air conditioning. The space also has a licensed PA system and speakers and permits organisers to play their own music. The space provides step‑free access, wheelchair-accessible circulation and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social taproom layout that accommodates a mix of seated and standing socialising.

What sets it apart: The Upstairs Bar features multiple large screens arranged for clear sightlines across the room, making broadcasted content easy to view from most seats.
