About this space

Cocktail Bar is a Bar in Sway centred on a run of semi-private booth bays that create a compact, intimate area for drinks and small-group socialising.

Design: Exposed brick walls, low pendant lamps and coloured uplighting form a dim, club-style interior. Deep-hued upholstered seating and dark floors keep sightlines low and the room compact.

Features: An internal cocktail counter is available. A built-in PA and speaker rig supports in-room music and there is an option to plug in your own DJ; Wi‑Fi and air conditioning are provided.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, social evening of standing drinks and bar-side conversation in an intimate setting.

What guests say: The space provides good event separation so adjacent activity does not typically interfere.

Birthday Party · 150 guests · December 2023
Security guards were amazing and the bar staff were 10/10 thank you Victoria for helping make it happen
Didn’t realise Steff London’s party was going to be next door so it was very hard you find parking - was some miss communication with the doors being used on the night but it worked out in the end

The staff were very helpful and the event was central and well equipped to cater for our event.
cost calculations at the end of the evening weren't totally aligned with the actual spend, but this was due to miscommunication between the staff.
