About this space

The Devil You Know is a compact cocktail bar defined by an intimate, low-lit, speakeasy-style interior.

Design: The interior uses dark-painted walls, a low ceiling and amber globe lamps to create a contained, cosy space. The floor presents black-and-white checkerboard tiles and fitted banquettes that curve around small round tables behind the main counter.

Features: A long wood-topped service bar with back shelving provides bottle display and counter seating. A built-in PA system and speakers support in-house music and allow external DJs to plug in under the venue's policy. Facilities include Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and a noise-restriction policy to manage late-night levels.

Ideal for: Intimate groups seeking a relaxed, social mix of standing and seated conversation will find the layout well suited to informal drinks-led gatherings.

What guests say: The venue is warm and welcoming and delivers a relaxed, approachable atmosphere.

Birthday Dinner · 30 guests · August 2026

I am extremely happy to have chosen the Devil you Know for my 30th birthday party. From the planning phase to the day itself, everything was really smooth and well done. Simone was responsive through the whole process and really brought my vision to life. The venue itself is gorgeous and really lands well to small intimate parties. All night, I got so many compliments from my guests about the food and the cocktails, and the atmosphere of the place. On top of that, the staff was really nice and accommodating the entire evening. Would recommend this place to anyone and would book it again for other events in the future.

Nothing I disliked but I would say if you're trying to have more than 20 people in the room, it could be a bit tight especially if dancing is involved.

30th Birthday Party · 30 guests · August 2026

Celebrated my wife's 30th birthday and it went amazing! From day 1 Simone provided all the right information and catered to every request without a hitch. On the day, the team went above and beyond to provide an incredible experience for us and the guests, everyone loved it. The place is really cool and fits the vibe we wanted and the food was really tasty. Will recommend and return in the future for sure.
