About this space

Back Half is a semi-private mezzanine area in the Event Space at Houston Hall, defined by its elevated, tucked-away position above the main industrial hall.

Design: The space features exposed brick, timber roof trusses and industrial metal-framed glazing for a warehouse-style interior. The finish palette combines worn timber, white subway tiles and pendant lighting that emphasises the venue's vertical volume.

Features: The area includes venue-standard Wi‑Fi and air conditioning, plus an integrated PA system and speakers for announcements or music. The area benefits from natural daylight and a mix of standing-height tables and stools for casual mingling. The venue provides a step-free guest entrance, accessible toilets and wheelchair access.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or an informal seated meetup where guests circulate and mingle.

Private space was part of the full bar, but roped off and worked well for my team. The space is really big and open and lively. Food is good bar food, drinks are good with some inventive cocktails, and service is quick.
