About this space

The Den is our most popular area for large groups. With comfortable sofas, low tables, soft lighting and exposed brickwork, it's the perfect setting for groups wanting a bit more space. The food and drinks menu can be served into the area. We also have packages available.

This private area adjoins the the main venue, where there is a variety of activities to choose from and explore. Whatever time of day, our music is always accessible, and later into the evening, it's vocal and easy to dance to. However if you would prefer, you can plug your phone in and be a Spotify DJ in your area.

This room can also be divided off from the main venue with a soundproof curtain for that little bit of extra privacy. We also can turn the room into a mass karaoke room, with three microphones, just in case it turns into a party.

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

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

Birthday Party · 30 guests · October 2025
The service was excellent, the vibes were great, our host so friendly and fun and even brought us a round of shots! Booking was easy and Wenny was lovely to work with. I would definitely book again 😄
There was only one mic available for karaoke which was strange and a bit disappointing. A gender neutral toilet would have been nice to have on site. I didn't see one while we were there.

30th Birthday Party · 50 guests · July 2026
Perfect venue - dancefloor, karaoke, ball pit, Aircon and they even showed the England game. The blonde lady (can't remember her name but it was her first day working there) was a fantastic host and helped make it a special night.
We were promised 3 mics for karaoke but there were only 2 and we had to find the second one ourselves. The room we booked smelled like sick cause someone had unfortunately thrown up in there before us. Not really the venue's fault The TVs were out of sync for the football and they were playing the audio from the most delayed one lol Some staff came across a bit rude/ clueless I also advise against having someone in the toilets begging for money
