About this space

Cellar Bar is a basement function space in Printers Alley occupying a discreet, below-street-level cellar that reads as a private underground bar.

Design: The space pairs exposed brick, dark timber floors and an exposed-beam ceiling for an industrial-chic basement look. The lighting is low and warm, punctuated by table lamps and wall fixtures that accent a slatted back wall.

Features: A fitted back bar and service counter anchors one wall and provides a dedicated area for drink service. A PA system and ceiling speakers support amplified sound, and several wall-mounted screens are available for live broadcasts. A timber-floored open area holds tall tables and stools that can be cleared for standing or dancing, and the room has Wi‑Fi, air conditioning and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Groups of friends and fan groups seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or informal seated drinks in a lively, low-lit basement setting.

What sets it apart: A private cellar that allows hosts to bring their own DJ and play their own music.

What guests say: The space is spacious and lively for watching sports and has an energetic atmosphere frequently highlighted in reviews.
