About this space

The Basement is the basement space in a live-music bar, notable for its compact, club-style layout.

Design: The space pairs exposed brick and visible ducting with a low ceiling lit by geometric neon strips, red drapery and Edison-style bulbs, set on dark timber floors around a mix of booths and high tables.

Features: The room has a dance area, PA system and speakers, plus Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. The seating mix includes upholstered booths and tall communal tables with stools. Bar service provides pizzas and cocktails, and organisers may play their own music through the system.

Ideal for: Groups of friends or informal social teams seeking a lively, standing-or-mixed reception with space to dance and casual seating.

What guests say: The space has a lively, energetic atmosphere. The layout supports dancing on busy nights and the music programme varies between events.
