About this space

The VAULT is a private lounge in Bar Silver that occupies a self-contained basement room, giving hire groups a separate space apart from the main bar.

Design: The interior presents a compact, low-ceilinged layout dressed in dark finishes and coloured low-level lighting that give it a club-style look. The room features a long bar counter opposite booth seating and arched alcoves, producing intimate sightlines throughout the space.

Features: A fitted bar counter provides in-room drink service from the venue. An integrated PA system supports in-room music and the hire permits an external DJ; a cleared area functions as a dancefloor. Additional practicalities include air conditioning, arcade machines and level changes accessed by steps.

Ideal for: Friend groups and private social gatherings seeking a compact, lively space for standing receptions and late‑night dancing.

What guests say: The space is compact and comfortable with a lively, club-style atmosphere. The basement private room provides discreet separation from the main bar, making it suitable for groups wanting a private late‑night area.

Party · 60 guests · March 2026
We hired this venue for our engagement party for about 55 people. The maxmimum capacity is 100 but it didn't feel too empty. We had our friends DJ and the venue had a great DJ booth and sound system. We were able to bring in our own food & snacks which was great for costs. The minimum spend is very reasonable as well. The venue had our own private bar and really cool games and decor. The staff were really friendly and genuinely nice, and helped us make it a special occasion! All in all, I think this is an underrated venue, well priced in a great central location. Would recommend!
We booked it from 7pm but the room wasn't ready until 7:20pm so we and some guests who arrived on time were waiting for a little bit.

40th Birthday Party · 40 guests · August 2025
The vibes were fun and exactly what I wanted. The staff were lovely and everything was arranged really well.
There was a problem with the aircon which meant it was either super hot or leaking so we had to keep going outside to get some air.

I had my birthday party there with 50 people playing our own music and doing karaoke, and it was amazing :) the communication with Danny before the party was good, the room was prepared before we arrived and all went seamlessly during the night. I would recommend it !
