About this space

Back Room Area is a semi-private area in a Bar at Mars Bar Restaurant centred around a pool table that structures its compact, social layout.

Design: The space is a narrow rectangular room with a low dark ceiling, a colourful graffiti-style mural along one wall and built-in banquette seating opposite a service counter.

Features: A PA system and speakers are installed for amplified music. A music policy allows guests to play their own tracks or bring a DJ. Accessibility includes a step-free guest entrance and accessible toilets. Natural light reaches the room through windows at the far end.

Ideal for: Small social groups seeking a relaxed, music-led standing reception or an informal seated gathering.

What guests say: The space comes alive for music and salsa nights and maintains a welcoming, social atmosphere. The space has regular music programming that is engaging and the staff are friendly.
