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!

Staff were friendly and the venue was good especially having bar side and dance area. Would recommend but some factors to consider below …
Dj supplied was good but didn’t play the house music on list given despite asking many times There was a booth area cordoned off stacked with chairs and a wet towel on the floor - venue had promised to clear this but didn’t. There was another party upstairs much older and they constantly kept coming into our party and we had to send them away. Not appropriate for an 18th staff said they would deal with it but no one on door if basement to constantly do this.

It was an amazing event. Great vibe and Steve managed the bar incredibly well as there were a lot of guest with vouchers. The security was very personable and friendly.
Toilet area would benefit from being refurbished. The seating area in the female toilets was torn.
