About this space

The Back of The Pub is a semi-private area in The Lauriston pub defined by large rear windows that fill the room with natural daylight.

Design: The interior pairs dark-painted walls and timber floors with leather-upholstered chairs and wooden tables. The seating runs and low pendant lights create an intimate, inward-facing layout with clear sightlines toward the bar area.

Features: The space includes free Wi-Fi, a wall-mounted TV and direct access to the venue bar for drink service. The space provides a step-free guest entrance, wheelchair access and accessible toilets on the same level. The furniture is a mix of fixed bench seating and loose tables and chairs that can be rearranged on request.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, social seated meal or an informal standing reception in a semi-private pub room.

What sets it apart: A ceiling-mounted projector is installed for presentations or film screenings, enabling AV use without bringing external equipment.
