About this space

Speakeasy is a speakeasy-style basement lounge in the Cocktail Bar Storyville that offers an intimate, vintage salon atmosphere distinguished by period furnishings and low, theatrical lighting.

Design: The room is low-ceilinged and dark-paneled, furnished with plush antique-style sofas, heavy drapery and gilt mirrors, and lit by warm, red-toned fixtures that give it a theatrical, period parlor look.

Features: The room includes a built-in PA system and speakers, Wi‑Fi and air conditioning, and is fitted with upholstered sofas and small tables for lounge-style seating and informal layouts.

Ideal for: Small groups of friends or colleagues seeking a relaxed, music-led standing reception or a low-key, seated social gathering.

What sets it apart: The lounge allows external DJs and guest-curated music so hosts can book a DJ to run a personalised soundtrack for their event.

What guests say: The space's aesthetic is commonly highlighted as its strongest attribute, noted for detailed period-style decor and moody, dim lighting that creates a distinctive atmosphere.
