Gorgeous venue for small shows

Had a slight hiccup with sounds initially. But sorted out. If they had a sound engineer it would have been great

Nice big space with very flexible configurations. People were great to work with and chill. The area is a great place to get people in.

Could have used a good sweep.

  • Cassy rated it 5/5 stars
    'I threw my husband's 40th birthday at the wonderful Union Theatre bar - from the moment we first chatted to the very end of the night, Sasha went over and beyond to ensure all details from food (delicious pizzas & sharing boards), to decor to the surprise all ran smoothly! Top communication and a wonderful bar space, where you can also play your own music too. Would 100% recommend!!'
  • Kieran P. rated it 5/5 stars
    'Hosted a joint 30th / engagement party with my finance. Could not recommend this venue enough! Great location and you have the whole place to yourself. Everyone (60+ people) was outside in the private courtyard for the first few hours where we had bottles of Prosecco Sasha had organised. Then progressed inside where my friend Djed on a great sound system. Incredible night! Staff super lovely and really helpful. Drinks a good price, pizzas lovely and Sasha was brilliant. Couldn’t have asked for a better venue!'
