Birthday Party · 40 guests · September 2026
The door man was super helpful and kind, the bar was well stocked with my favourite drinks. There was lots of space to sit and tables to set up cake or any other party bits. Super helpful that there are DJ decks there to use.
The space is large so make sure you have enough guests!!

Bar staff were great and the price is very reasonable for the hire.
It's a little rough around the edges and could do with some TLC. I'm unsure why the security cost has to be covered as well as the venue hire because they do not man the doors to the downstairs area; they are on the door for the whole club with punters using the upstairs bar, so it feels like you are covering the security for the whole establishment. I've been informed that the ladies toilet ran out of loo roll, so that could be improved. Also, the decks are in a terrible state - see attached picture for the condition of the mixer.

We had a great party there, sound system was good allowed us to have are own music, allowed us to put up decorations. Even with 35 of us space felt full, plenty of room to dance. We had a great night
You could not get in before 7 to set up. So bit of a rush to get the decorations up but we managed.

We had an amazing experience at The Shoreditch Bar! From start to finish, everything was absolutely perfect. Erdal was incredible he took care of every single detail and responded immediately to any technical questions or requests we had. He truly made sure everything ran smoothly and made us feel completely supported throughout the whole process. The venue itself is fantastic spacious, stylish, and with such a great atmosphere. It’s honestly a beautiful space for any event. The staff working at the bar that day were also extremely helpful and friendly. A special thank you as well to Christina, the club’s other manager, who was incredibly supportive and attentive. One of the best parts is that the venue already has excellent sound and lighting equipment available, so there’s no need to rent anything extra. You can simply bring your own music and host your private party with ease. We had so much fun and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We’re truly very happy with The Shoreditch Bar and will definitely be planning all our future special events there. Highly recommended!
