About this space

Sway is a multi-room bar and nightclub that pairs club-style lighting with flexible seating configurations to create an adaptable party environment.

Design: The interior uses dark walls, patterned panelling, brass-framed mirrors and low pendant chandeliers alongside leather banquettes and red-upholstered stools to create a slick, clubby look with distinct seating zones.

Features: The venue includes an in-house bar serving cocktails and global small plates, a PA system with house speakers and the option to play your own music or bring a DJ. The space provides Wi‑Fi and air conditioning, plus a mix of bar-height tables, stools and booth seating; integrated lighting rigs support club programming.

Ideal for: Large, lively groups seeking a standing, social club atmosphere with flexible seating and dancing.

What sets it apart: The venue contains five independently bookable rooms under one roof, permitting separate private spaces or a combined full-venue hire.

What guests say: The venue's sound system is powerful and event staff can be attentive and accommodating. The venue's door staff and crowd management have been reported as inconsistent in multiple reviews.
