About this space

ORIELS is a cellar-style cocktail bar defined by a low-ceilinged, compact layout that creates an intimate hireable space.

Design: The interior pairs exposed brick arches, dark hardwood floors and low timber beams, arranged into arched alcoves and banquette booths under warm, low lighting.

Features: The space includes Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. The layout provides banquette booths, loose tables and clear circulation that can be reconfigured for standing or seated arrangements. The room finishes include hardwood flooring and fixed alcove seating.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a compact, sociable venue focused on music and mingling rather than formal, multi-course dining.

What sets it apart: A built-in PA system and a dedicated dance floor allow private DJs and louder music for bookings.

What guests say: The space has stylish decor and a lively, buzzing atmosphere.
