About this space

VIP Bar is a private space in the karaoke bar at RPM Underground characterised by a compact, counter-focused layout that keeps activity centred in a single room.

Design: The interior pairs industrial metal finishes and an exposed ceiling with coloured LED backlighting and suspended globe pendants, producing a low‑ceiling, intimate scale.

Features: The room has a staffed, fully stocked service counter, built-in glass racking and stool seating along the bar. The space provides Wi‑Fi, wheelchair access and accessible toilets. The venue can manage food and drink orders and deliver them to the room during a booking.

Ideal for: Small social groups seeking a relaxed, bar‑centred evening that mixes standing conversation and brief seated breaks.

What sets it apart: A dedicated in-room audio system gives private control of music and allows connection of personal devices or a guest DJ for exclusive playlists.

What guests say: The space is lively and welcoming with attentive, helpful event staff. The room's decoration and lighting provide strong photo opportunities and the song catalogue is extensive and regularly updated.
