Whether you’re planning a small get-together, a bigger group, or something that starts early and runs late, it’s easy to make the night your own. With a 3am licence, there’s no need to rush — ...

Behind the bar, classic drinks are reworked with a few unexpected twists, both in flavour and presentation, while still feeling familiar. More than anything, it’s the atmosphere that stands out.

About AGL // Angel

AGL // Angel is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

AGL is Angel’s cocktail hideaway, set up as a sleek late-night space with a slightly different take on drinks. The menu reworks familiar cocktails with a more experimental approach.

The space itself is more intimate than a typical bar, which works well for private parties. It has a good balance of atmosphere and privacy, so groups can celebrate without feeling cut off from the energy of the night.

It’s especially suited to birthdays, whether it’s a smaller gathering or a full takeover. With a late licence until 3am, there’s plenty of time to settle in and let the night unfold without rushing.

Usually booked for
Birthday Party

Typically for 30-90 guests and costs about £300.

"Fantastic venue in terms of space, lighting, bartender service, microphone and sound quality."
