Party · 60 guests · March 2026
We hired this venue for our engagement party for about 55 people. The maxmimum capacity is 100 but it didn't feel too empty. We had our friends DJ and the venue had a great DJ booth and sound system. We were able to bring in our own food & snacks which was great for costs. The minimum spend is very reasonable as well. The venue had our own private bar and really cool games and decor. The staff were really friendly and genuinely nice, and helped us make it a special occasion! All in all, I think this is an underrated venue, well priced in a great central location. Would recommend!
We booked it from 7pm but the room wasn't ready until 7:20pm so we and some guests who arrived on time were waiting for a little bit.

40th Birthday Party · 40 guests · August 2025
The vibes were fun and exactly what I wanted. The staff were lovely and everything was arranged really well.
There was a problem with the aircon which meant it was either super hot or leaking so we had to keep going outside to get some air.
