Host rules

Welcome to The 1 Bar, where every evening is an occasion and every guest shines.
Here is a little guide to make your visit memorable:

1. Dress to impress: We encourage you to dress with flair and originality. Show us your unique style!
While we love a touch of glamour, we kindly ask that beachwear, sportswear, loungewear, flip-flops, tracksuits, sports trainers, and caps be saved for other adventures. In warmer seasons, gentlemen may opt for smart shorts.
2. Age gracefully with us: Please note, that we welcome guests who are 21 and older. Make sure you have your ID handy.
3. Respect and Enjoy: We're all about creating a joyful and safe environment. Disrespectful or disruptive behaviour doesn't mix well with our cocktails.
4. Entrance etiquette: Our team reserves the right to make decisions on the door. We aim to create a balanced and pleasant atmosphere for everyone.

Cancellation policy: Standard 30 day

30th Birthday Party · 130 guests · August 2025
I had an incredible 30th Birthday celebration at the 1 Bar. All the staff were extremely attentive and gained high praise from all my guests. The venue itself was beautiful and everything was already set up when I arrived just before my guests. A massive thanks to Alicia, Chris and all the staff on the night for making my 30th birthday one to remember - a lot of my guests commented on how lovely the venue was and a few said they would consider booking for their own celebrations too! A big thank you to Frank on the door too for ensuring only my guests were able to enter the event. Thank you all!
Absolutely nothing, it was the perfect night at the perfect venue

Wow, everything from start to finish was just incredible. The venue is absolutely perfect (we had our engagement party here with about 70 guests) and the vibe was immaculate. All of the staff were brilliant, from Alicia the events manager, to the bar manager, to the security and bar staff! All were so lovely and such a fun lot to be around. Also highly recommend the DJ that the bar recommended!
