About this space

The Lower Deck is a private event space in The Admiralty pub, notable for its nautical, timber-lined basement that creates an enclosed, ship-like setting.

Design: The Lower Deck uses reclaimed-wood floors, brass fittings and exposed brick archways to evoke a maritime interior. The room has low, warm lighting and a mix of bar stools, booths and freestanding tables that form intimate alcoves.

Features: The Lower Deck provides Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and a PA system with speakers; hosts may play their own music or bring a DJ. The layout includes a small bar counter, high stools, booth seating and movable tables that can be rearranged for seated service or standing receptions.

Ideal for: Small social groups or work teams are best suited to this room for relaxed, social seated meals or standing receptions.

What guests say: The Lower Deck is warm and characterful with attentive, efficient service.
