"An amazing venue we were very well looked after by Reggie and his team."
- Justin G. Sep 2025
The Exclusive Lounge Bar, a Lounge at Apples & Pears, is a cocktail-led social space that functions as the venue's music and drinks hub and is arranged for music-led nights and drink service.
Design: Exposed brick walls and large-scale street-art murals give the room an industrial, East London character punctuated by designer pendant lamps and a neon quote sign. Colourful artwork and gallery-style shelving create layered visual interest across the walls.
Features: A dedicated PA system and fixed speakers support playable playlists and external DJs; the room permits own music and hired DJs. Air conditioning and venue Wi‑Fi are installed, and a defined dance area is available alongside in-room bar facilities. A small enclosed garden provides an outdoor seating option and the space allows approved lighting and decorations under set guidelines.
Ideal for: Groups wanting a lively, music-led standing reception or a relaxed, drink-focused gathering that includes space to dance and socialise.
What sets it apart: A double-height ceiling topped by a large skylight channels natural daylight into the bar, an uncommon source of daylight for a city lounge.
What guests say: The space is warm and characterful, and it benefits from efficient event coordination and reliable cooling on hot days.
