About this space

An open-plan entertainment venue arranged around a large central bar and communal seating, designed for active, social group hire.

Design: The interior pairs exposed industrial ceilings and polished concrete floors with long timber bench tables, high-top stools and LED-accented lighting surrounding a backlit bar. Large screens and colourful lighting create an energetic, contemporary look.

Features: The venue has a central service bar and a mix of bench-style dining and high-top tables that face the activity area. The house PA and speaker system accepts guest playlists or a hired DJ, and the venue provides building-wide Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, wheelchair access and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Friends and family groups wanting relaxed, activity-led socialising that mixes standing bar time and casual seated dining.

What sets it apart: A cluster of on-site games — bowling, darts, shuffleboard and karaoke — all available under one roof so one hire can cover multiple activities.

What guests say: The space is fun and sociable and provides an enjoyable group experience.
