Downstairs at ALCOVE

Event Space in a Bar

Private space
27 Saint Nicholas Place, ALCOVE, Leicester, LE1 4LD
Leicester City Centre

About this space

The space itself is open-plan, modern, and intentionally minimal, making it easy to dress up or down depending on your event. A long, statement bar runs through the room, acting as a natural focal point and social hub, complete with professional coffee equipment by day and full bar service by night.

The interior features dark, matte panelling, warm industrial lighting, and clean concrete-style flooring, giving the venue a relaxed but premium feel. Exposed filament lighting creates a warm atmosphere in the evenings which is fully smart controllable to be warm or cold white. The open layout allows for flexible setups whether that’s standing events, casual seating, DJ setups, or presentation-style layouts.

There’s plenty of room for guest flow without the space feeling empty, making it ideal for intimate, high-quality events where atmosphere matters. Access is simple and step free, the layout is practical, and the space works equally well for daytime and evening hires.
