30th Birthday Party · 40 guests · November 2025
I definitely recommend the Back Lounge for private events. Great little spot and space, with a lot of seating and a booth. Have your own sound system to play music off, which makes it more accommodating. You get your own waiter who was fantastic by the way (Bella). Drinks came quick! The rest of the team were great and professional. Thanks to the bar staff and both Alex's!

Drinks Reception · 50 guests · October 2025
Great service and atmosphere. We had a fantastic server Jack who somehow managed to keep the room fully stocked and take orders whilst also keeping non-guests away. The space was perfect for our event and we were able to set up our own DJ booth and perform on the sound system. We ordered food and it was all excellent quality, and drinks were very tasty. We also had a great experience booking the space with Kamila who was incredibly helpful and answered all our questions prior to the event.
