30th Birthday Party · 130 guests
· August 2025
I had an incredible 30th Birthday celebration at the 1 Bar. All the staff were extremely attentive and gained high praise from all my guests. The venue itself was beautiful and everything was already set up when I arrived just before my guests. A massive thanks to Alicia, Chris and all the staff on the night for making my 30th birthday one to remember - a lot of my guests commented on how lovely the venue was and a few said they would consider booking for their own celebrations too! A big thank you to Frank on the door too for ensuring only my guests were able to enter the event. Thank you all!
Absolutely nothing, it was the perfect night at the perfect venue

Wow, everything from start to finish was just incredible. The venue is absolutely perfect (we had our engagement party here with about 70 guests) and the vibe was immaculate. All of the staff were brilliant, from Alicia the events manager, to the bar manager, to the security and bar staff! All were so lovely and such a fun lot to be around. Also highly recommend the DJ that the bar recommended!

30th Birthday Party · 130 guests
· March 2025
If you are looking for a venue to celebrate a special occasion, this is the venue you need! I celebrated my 30th birthday at the 1 Bar and everything exceeded my expectations. Not only is the bar aesthetically pleasing, but the staff there are lovely and go over and beyond to meet your expectations. I was quite particular with what I wanted for my birthday celebration and Alicia ensured everything was in place to meet my vision, and this was delivered. I am still getting questions about the venue till date for those looking to celebrate. I was able to bring my own decoration and food and Alicia and Dimi made this such an easy process for me, considering this was an issue with other venues. Not only are the staff here very friendly, but they do everything to make sure your birthday party is a successful one. Big thank you to Alicia and Dimi for their professional expertise in event planning which contributed to a successful 30th birthday party, would highly recommend!
