About this space

The Front Lounge is a semi-private event space in the cocktail bar Zapoi, defined by its dense, plant-filled, tropical-inflected décor.

Design: The space is long and narrow and arranged as layered seating clusters of low sofas, stools and small tables, finished with patterned textiles, antique furniture and varied ambient lamps that form intimate corners.

Features: The Front Lounge has street-facing windows that provide natural light, a PA system with speakers and venue Wi‑Fi. The seating is arranged as movable low sofas, stools and small tables to support both seated conversation and casual standing mingling.

Ideal for: Small social groups seeking a relaxed, lounge-style setting that combines seated conversation and casual standing mingles.

What guests say: The space has attentive, knowledgeable staff and a comfortable music level.
