About this space

Basement Private Space is a Basement in Cafe@MarketSt, a semi-private room notable for its intimate, enclosed scale that keeps events separate from the main cafe area.

Design: The space has a low ceiling, warm timber flooring and a dark slatted feature wall backed by planted greenery, furnished with a mix of bar-height and standard tables under recessed lighting.

Features: The space includes Wi‑Fi and air conditioning, plus natural light and timber floors suited to both standing and seated layouts. The furniture can be rearranged to create mingling or dining zones. The area has step-free guest access, wheelchair-accessible circulation and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Small, relaxed social groups seeking a mix of standing and seated mingling in a private, informal setting.

What sets it apart: A built-in PA system and small dedicated dancefloor provide on-site amplified sound and a compact performance area for DJs or live music.

What guests say: The space is warm and welcoming, and the space's staff are attentive and responsive during booking and on the day.
