About this space

Novela is a literary-themed cocktail bar whose interior is defined by book-lined walls and a library-style character.

Design: The interior pairs dark timber finishes, patterned chevron flooring and low chandeliers with a pressed-metal ceiling; seating combines banquettes, upholstered armchairs and bar stools to create distinct lounge zones.

Features: A full bar serves cocktails, beer, wine and spirits, and the drinks list includes cocktails named after literary characters. A PA system and speakers are installed and the venue allows hosts to play their own music; venue Wi‑Fi is available. Indoor and outdoor seating are provided, and the venue is wheelchair accessible with accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Social groups seeking a relaxed, sociable drinks reception or a mixed seated-and-standing gathering.

What sets it apart: A large punch dispenser serves pre-mixed punch on tap for consistent, easy service throughout an event.

What guests say: The venue's event staff are attentive and responsive. The space sustains a lively, social atmosphere suited to evening gatherings.
