The Underworld at Damsel Collective
About this space
Welcome to the underworld of Damsel - in the best way possible. With a central sunken bar, tiled walls and floors, and atmospheric lighting that shifts with your night, it’s the kind of space that makes everything feel a lot more special. Boasting another 140sqm (1507 square feet) and with a capacity of up to 150 guests, it’s perfect for parties that want to go late, get loud, or just live a little larger.
It’s got:
A striking sunken bar that anchors the room (and your cocktails)
Adjustable lighting to match the mood, from soft and sultry to full party mode
Tiled walls and floors - seriously, it looks incredible
Flexible layout options depending on your setup, performance, or dancefloor plans
Built-in bathrooms (no running upstairs in heels)
Plug-and-play sound system - with room for a full AV or DJ rig if you’re feeling fancy
Plenty of space for extra lighting, projections, or live music setups
Whether you're hosting an immersive performance, an afterparty, or just something unforgettable, the basement delivers.
