About this space

Design: The room has dark wood panelling, deep-red tufted leather banquettes and patterned armchairs set under low, shaded lamps. The walls carry maritime paintings, mounted curios and framed plates that create a dense, travel-oriented interior.

The space includes an in-room PA system and speakers, Wi-Fi and air conditioning. The area receives table service and can be served cocktails and light bar snacks from the venue.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, social, drink-focused evening in an intimate, informal setting.

What sets it apart: A mechanical arrival feature using a wooden ball on a track signals guests and reinforces the venue's exploration motif.

What guests say: The space is quirky and comfortable and supports theatrical cocktail presentations. The atmosphere is lively yet generally allows conversation, and service is commonly attentive.
