About this space

Nightshade is a lounge in Moonflower defined by its dim, focused lighting that creates close, private seating areas.

Design: The space uses a dark, matte palette and low ceiling to keep scale compact, pairing turquoise velvet banquettes and small round tables with recessed downlights and candlelight to form separated seating bays.

Features: The room has built-in PA and speakers, allows guest playlists or an external DJ, and includes a small cleared area suitable as a dancefloor. The space also provides Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and flexible table and banquette seating that supports both seated service and standing circulation.

Ideal for: Intimate groups seeking a relaxed, conversation-friendly setting for standing receptions or seated lounge-style gatherings.

What sets it apart: A speakeasy-style sub-bar operates on weekends, running its own live-music programme and an alternate cocktail menu.

What guests say: The space is warm and inviting while maintaining a comfortable noise level for conversation. The space has friendly staff who contribute to a welcoming visit.
