About this space

Hiver Taproom is a taproom and bar set in a railway arch that specialises in honey‑infused beers.

Design: The interior pairs painted corrugated walls, timber tables and metal seating under low pendant lights for a straightforward, functional look. The space includes a raised mezzanine and an open-fronted seating area that admits natural light and creates an indoor–outdoor flow.

Features: The bar serves the brewery’s beers alongside wine, cocktails and soft drinks and allows deliveries or outside food from nearby market traders. The layout comprises a ground floor, a raised mezzanine and a private karaoke room, with a clear area that can be used as a small dancefloor. Installed AV includes a PA system and speakers; hosts can use an in-house DJ, bring their own DJ, or hire a visual system and mic. The venue provides Wi‑Fi, is dog‑friendly, and has step‑free guest access plus accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Small to medium groups seeking relaxed, social standing receptions or casual seated gatherings in an informal, music‑friendly setting.

What sets it apart: Regular honey‑beer tastings and occasional hands‑on honey‑harvesting experiences provide a direct connection between the brewery’s beekeeping and the drinks on offer.

What guests say: The space is characterful and welcoming with flexible upstairs and downstairs areas. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the venue’s AV and private‑room options work well for music nights, karaoke or pub‑quiz style events.

Birthday Party · 50 guests · September 2025
Hosted my 30th birthday at Hiver and so so happy with the experience! Firstly compared to so many other places I looked at it is so much more affordable, with that in mind I expected there to be some drawbacks but honestly I couldn't name a single negative. Such a great location in a really buzzing central area. The space itself has a really great feel, actually bigger in reality than the pictures show and I loved the variety of having the upstairs, downstairs and outside. Its also on the right side of the tracks to catch the evening sun which was so lovely. We were given a lot of freedom and help in moving furniture around and decorating to make the space our own. I pre-ordered pizza from Yard Sale for the evening which worked really well and the staff were great with helping clear it all away after. The barteam were so great overall, good humoured and helpful! Leading up to and on the night Izzy was so great in answering my many many questions and accommodating all our needs! Thank you Izzy! Overall would 100% recommend Hiver as a wonderful place to host a party.
