What a wonderful place to hold an event. A real personal touch and great care taken to accommodate all my requirements for a birthday party with live band. Couldn't have chosen a better venue. Thanks to Sasha, Connor and the team.

Absolutely brilliant venue for my 40th! Sasha and her team were so easy to work with ahead of the party. The party itself was seamless. I had so many compliments about the venue, the food, the service... everything was absolutely spot on!

40th Birthday Party · 50 guests
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!!
