About this space

Tucked away beyond Side Store and up past Side Bar, a discreet doorway reveals Side Space, a hidden den where character, music and atmosphere come together. Recently renovated, this unique setting blends vintage charm with a stripped-back, late-night edge.

Designed for everything from one-off celebrations to longer-term pop-ups, Side Space offers a flexible layout with access to the bar and its own direct street entrance, giving you a fully self-contained venue for private events.

A range of seating and table configurations are available, with trusted local suppliers on hand for décor and entertainment to help bring your vision to life.

Capacity: Standing: 100
