Private Areas at Ballie Ballerson

Lounge in a Bar

Semi-private area
97-113 Curtain Road, London, EC2A 3BS –
Old Street Station (0.3 mi)

About this space

Our private areas sit on a mezzanine overlooking the main floor, tucked up behind the DJ for that truly special feel. Filled with cozy lush booths and table service, it's ideal for groups wanting to mingle. This is the perfect option for those larger groups wanting a drinks package and a little more privacy than being down on the main floor.

Each area sits around between 6-20 people, however, we can combine all the different levels to create an area of up to 120. If you're interested in booking karaoke as well as booths, just drop us a note.

Our music policy is Pop-House & Disco, we remix well known melodic pop with the rhythmic energy of house & disco, and towards late night we lean a little towards Commercial House. Whatever time of day, our music is always accessible, vocal and easy to dance to.

From intimate gatherings to full-blown parties, trust us to create that truly iconic party.

Get in touch with us now, we would be delighted to hear from you!

Overall the venue was very good. The staff were very accommodating where they could be. The drinks and food was reasonably priced for a venue in London. The karaoke was a very nice touch and was a highlight for a few people.

One of the main gripes of the venue is that we weren't allowed to cut a birthday cake and hand it to people as they left. We even suggested doing it outside the building with a plastic knife but they didn't allow it due to health and safety reasons. Another annoyance is that the area is described as private however there is nothing stopping people walking inside and it was quite annoying having to tell drunk people that it was a private birthday party the whole night. Other issues include cockroaches inside the tables, no access to the ball pit unfortunately even though it is stated as a facility. Also the guy in the toilet begging for money for borderline assault with spraying guests crotches was unpleasant.
