What it’s like
An 18+ bar in Leicester with a live house band, hosted games nights and bottomless brunch takeovers, plus free venue hire for private events.
This one's for the grown-ups only, no under-18s through the door. The draw is the house band doing live music sets alongside hosted games and event nights, and the bottomless brunch takeovers that seem built for a big group booking rather than a quiet two.
If you're thinking of hiring the place for a birthday or work do, the venue itself is free to hire, but they take a £250 event guarantee to lock in your date. That sounds steep until you realise it converts to bar credit for your group on the night, covering drinks, cocktails and food. Book for 100 and get 85 to 95 through the door and nobody bats an eyelid, the credit still stands, though it has to be spent on the night rather than banked for next time.
Food comes as packages rather than an à la carte menu: wings, burgers, loaded fries and sharing trays, with the common dietary requirements catered for. Daytime hire tends to run 12pm to 5pm, with evening slots from 7pm to 1am, so you can pitch a party either as a long lazy afternoon or a proper night out.
One practical snag worth knowing: the basement has no lift access. There's also a dress code, no tracksuits or anything too casual, and pretty much everything, from a table to full venue hire, needs booking ahead rather than turning up on spec.

Plan your visit
Is this venue suitable for children?
No, it's an 18 and over venue throughout.
How much does it cost to hire the venue?
Hire itself is free, but you'll need a £250 event guarantee to secure the date. That full amount converts into bar credit for your group to spend on food and drink that night.
What happens if fewer guests show up than we booked?
If your numbers drop a bit, say from 100 down to 85 or 90, that's fine and your bar credit still applies. Just remember the credit has to be used on the night rather than carried over.
What food is available for events?
Food comes as packages rather than a standard menu, think wings, burgers, loaded fries and sharing trays, with common dietary requirements catered for.
Is there a dress code?
Tracksuits and overly casual wear aren't permitted, so it's worth dressing up a bit for the night.
Is the venue wheelchair accessible?
The main venue is wheelchair accessible, but the basement has no lift access, so that area isn't workable for wheelchair users.
