About this space

Peony bar is a private bar in Opium Chinatown, notable for its speakeasy-style Chinoiserie décor that evokes 1920s Shanghai.

Design: The interior uses deep red wallpapers, patterned textiles and decorative lattice ceiling panels to create a compact, low-ceilinged space. Lantern-style lights and polished timber floors produce a warm, focused glow and dense visual detail.

Features: Basic amenities include Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. Natural light is available for daytime hires and the room permits hosts to play their own music. An in-room staffed bar supports cocktail and dim sum service.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking an intimate, relaxed, cocktail-focused social gathering centred on bar seating and conversation.

What sets it apart: A continuous, central wooden bar counter runs through the room and functions as the primary service and presentation area.

What guests say: The space provides attentive bar service and helpful recommendations. Cocktail presentations are often creative and served with theatrical touches.

Cosy atmosphere, great food, nice and fast service, I got everything that I wanted from my birthday party and would consider to celebrate at the same venue again. My guests liked it as well.
There was an issue with my deposit being not included into bill as it should, but after communicating with them on email they refunded me the deposit back so all good in the end.

The staff were very warm and inviting, drinks service was excellent Mike served us with the upmost efficiency. Food was great and all guests had an amazing time.
Couldn’t even get a butter knife to cut a cake we had pre arranged to be brought in. Small thing but having to divide it with chopsticks was extremely messy.
