Pub · 70 guests · October 2026 · Full Venue Hire

Venue was great and drinks and food were good standard.

Many guests complained to me about the staff being rude and also that prices went up throughout the night and didn’t match what was advertised in the menus.

30th Birthday Party · 60 guests · July 2026 · Full Venue Hire

I couldn't recommend hosting your event at Without Papers Bar more! We hosted my partner's 30th birthday there and the night couldn't have been better thanks to the team there. They made sure everything ran incredibly smoothly, kept us informed when we were reaching our agreed upon limit on the bar tab and kept the bar running very smoothly so we could just enjoy the night. All the drinks are absolutely amazing and the space works perfectly for a large group. They also allowed us to bring in cakes, set up a few decorations and had a projector screen so we could play a slideshow of pictures through the evening. Thanks again to Marco and his team for such a great time!

The only small note is it does get quite warm in there.
