About this space

Back Room is a Function Room in TØRST, a compact wood-lined private area defined by street-facing windows that bring natural daylight into the space.

Design: The room shows vertical reclaimed-wood panelling above pale ceramic tiles, fixed timber bench seating and a narrow, shallow plan. The visual character is straightforward Scandinavian utility with visible shelving and bottle displays.

Features: The room provides fixed bench seating and movable tables, a PA system and speakers, Wi‑Fi and air conditioning, and permission to play your own music. The space is wheelchair accessible and includes accessible toilets and a step-free guest entrance.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, social gathering that works as a seated meal or informal standing reception in a compact private area.

What guests say: The space is compact and lively at peak times. The seating is clean and well presented, and quieter pockets open up outside busy periods.
