About this space

Upstairs is a private event space in The Brazen Tavern characterised by a compact, inward-facing layout that keeps groups close and conversational.

Design: The space shows a traditional tavern interior with exposed timber beams, dark wood panelling, low ceilings and a mix of banquette and standalone seating.

Features: The room provides Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, natural light from upstairs windows and wall-mounted screens for AV. Accessible restrooms are available, and a noise restriction is in place to manage levels. The layout includes fixed banquettes and freestanding tables arranged for easy service access.

Ideal for: Intimate social groups seeking a relaxed, conversational setting for seated dinners or standing receptions.

What sets it apart: An in-room PA system and permission to bring an external DJ allow hosted music or presentations tailored to the group.

What guests say: The space is cozy and comfortable with a conversational noise level that still allows easy discussion. The seating and restrooms are clean and well maintained, and staff service is frequently attentive.
