Art Studio · 30 guests · February 2026 · ARTS & CRAFTS
Absolutely loved the venue, so aesthetic. A perfect place to host my painting workshop. They had all the right products and my vision for the workshop came to life. Everyone was super friendly there too.
Nothing, everything was perfect!

Aesthetically beautiful and suitable for a party. Good space with a nice small outdoor area. Staff were very friendly and helpful
It got far too hot indoors even with the fans

30th Birthday Party · 60 guests · June 2026 · Lounge & Bar
I loved the space and the aesthetics! There was a lot of choice and many available paints for the pottery painting I did, and the food I ordered was very good.
It was quite loud, playing club music (which I didn't expect for the impression of the venue from the website) which discouraged conversation. There
