About this space

DumDum is a cocktail bar for private gatherings, distinguished by its dark, richly decorated interior.

Design: Warm pendant lighting, botanical wallpaper and timber flooring create a richly layered interior. Curved banquette seating, round tables and rattan stools shape a sociable layout.

Ideal for: Social groups seeking a relaxed, informal gathering built around conversation and dancing.

What sets it apart: A Polynesian tiki concept runs in the venue, giving the booking a clear visual identity rather than a neutral bar setting.

What guests say: The bar has a lively atmosphere and a strong music-led identity.
