About this space

A compact café-bar that pairs a small dining kitchen with a focus on natural wine and crafted cocktails; the venue is defined by its intimate, approachable interior.

Design: The interior centres on exposed white brick, dark timber seating and stone‑topped tables, producing a compact, casual bistro layout with low, warm lighting.

Features: A staffed kitchen and bar supply plated dishes and a curated drinks list. A PA system and speakers are available for amplified sound, and venue‑wide Wi‑Fi is provided. An outdoor seating area, step‑free entrance and accessible toilets complete the practical facilities.

Ideal for: Small friend groups and professional gatherings seeking relaxed, social seated dinners or informal standing drinks.

What sets it apart: A flexible private-hire policy permits clients to play their own music and bring custom décor for an event.

What guests say: The venue pairs a cosy, compact interior with attentive, accommodating staff. The kitchen and bar deliver carefully made, well‑presented food and drinks.

Overall vibe, cute little remarks to my event (chalkboard with my specialty drink on it), the hosts, food and drinks were delicious
Wish I had a little more time to set up decorations (15 min prior felt rushed)

Cafe Sky was a dream venue to work with- amazing team, communication, food was fabulous, music system super easy to connect with and utilize, help setting up and tearing down. Custom "Matchatini" drink was a huge hit along with fully stocked bar! The space itself is beautiful and very well managed. Nice clean bathroom was a huge plus for hosting. Accessible location with charm.

FAQ

No. DJs are not permitted due to venue permit restrictions.

The setup is very simple. Whoever is controlling the music connects to the venue’s Wi-Fi, which automatically connects with their Spotify.

Once connected to the venue’s Wi-Fi, you can control the music from your phone through the Spotify app.

Yes. The minimum is based on the total bill amount before tax and tip; food costs such as the pre fixe count towards it, as do all drink purchases, although drinks are not included in the pre fixe costs. Purchases can be on one tab, several tabs or individual for each guest—it’s whatever you prefer.

No, events cannot be hosted outside the listed time slots due to staffing requirements.
