One room on Stoke Newington Road with a wooden dance floor, a proper cocktail bar, a stage with a PA on it and a team who build balloon walls every weekend of the year. Fifteen guests or a hundred and eighty.

The room

Exposed brick,
a wooden floor
and a real bar

It was a print works, then a rehearsal room, and since 2023 it has been this. Twelve-foot ceilings, a pressed-tin roof, brick to the back wall, and lighting that goes from dinner-warm to full club in one fader.

Everything you would otherwise hire in comes with the room: sound, lights, staff, a licence until three, and a floor that has taken a genuine hammering every weekend for three years without complaint.

No mystery

Four steps,
and one of them
is the party

1
Send the dateDate, rough numbers, what the occasion is. We reply the same day with availability and a real price.
2
Come and see itAny weekday evening, no appointment needed. Have a drink on us and see the room with the lights up and down.
3
Hold it with 25%A quarter of the room fee secures the date. The balance is due a week before, and the bar is settled on the night.
4
Turn upSetup is done before you arrive. You get one point of contact on the night and they do not leave until you do.
What is included in the room fee? add

Exclusive use of the space for your hours, all staff, the sound and lighting, the licence, the cleaning and the setup and takedown. There is no service charge, no corkage and no per-head admin fee on top.

Is there a minimum spend? add

On peak Fridays and Saturdays, yes, and we will tell you the number up front rather than after you have fallen in love with the room. Midweek and Sundays there is no minimum at all.

Can we bring our own DJ, band or cake? add

DJ and band, absolutely, the rig is yours and our engineer will meet them for a line check. Cake, yes, and we will plate and serve it. Own drinks, no; the licence does not allow it.

What about noise and finish times? add

Music until 2:30am and out by 3am on Fridays and Saturdays, midnight Sunday to Thursday. The room is properly treated, so the neighbours have never once been the reason a night ended early.

Cancellation add

Deposit refundable in full up to 30 days out, half up to 14 days, and non-refundable inside a fortnight. Move the date once, free, at any point up to a week before, subject to availability.

Accessibility add

Step-free from the street to the main room, the bar and the accessible toilet. One shallow step into the back room with a portable ramp available. Tell us what would help and we will have it sorted before your guests arrive.

Do you do daytimes? add

Yes, christenings, baby showers, wakes, workshops and photo shoots. Daytime hire runs 11am to 5pm and is cheaper than any evening slot. Ask and we will quote it.

Check a date now

Tell us when and roughly how many. You will have availability and a price back the same working day, from a person, not a form letter.
