Where the city’s best events come to life

As you wander through Side Store and up past the buzz of Side Bar, you’ll find a door that opens into something different - a tucked-away space where the lights are low, the music moves through eras, and time seems to slow down. Welcome to Side Space.

Recently reimagined and ready to host anything from one-off parties to long-term pop-ups, Side Space comes with its own entrance and direct access to the bar.

It’s your blank canvas - perfect for private gatherings, brand activations, or something entirely your own.
We can tailor the layout to suit your setup and connect you with trusted local suppliers for styling, DJs, and entertainment.

CAPACITY - Standing: 100

We also offer:
- Food & drink packages
- Sound and AV options
- Complimentary WIFI
- Sourcing DJs & Entertainment
