Our Spaces
Spanning over 200sqm, our Courtyard is the ideal space for hosting large-group events, grabbing a meal before the game, or watching your favourite team on the big screen. With a retractable roof and heating throughout, this outdoor patio is great for gathering all year-round. It also boasts multiple furniture layouts, including seated and standing.
The Courtyard can only be partially booked; if you would like the full space, you must book the Beer Garden as well (see below).

Just out the back of the Courtyard and covered by stunning trees, our Beer Garden is perfect for more casual, cocktail-style events—think after-work drinks on a Friday, pre- or post-event small bites, or lively holiday celebrations. Take cover in the leafy shade during summer or get cosy under the soft-lit canopy in winter, with plenty of room to mingle.
With high tables and stools, it is suitable for a mix of standing and sitting. You may book just a section of the Beer Garden, or you may reserve the full space to make the area semi-private with a private bar.

For larger groups wanting a fully private space, you can book our entire outdoor area, depending on our availability. With plenty of room to work with, furniture may be re-arranged to suit your needs. This space also includes a private bar.
Choosing this option is the only way you may reserve the full Courtyard. This is because the Beer Garden is only accessible via the Courtyard, so we can not close off the Courtyard for a private event without also closing the Beer Garden off from the public.

Our Dining Room is our most cosy, intimate space for enjoying a seated dinner or long lunch. It features our iconic brick fireplace for the colder winter days, as well as glass doors that open into the terrace area of the Courtyard for a breezier feel in summer. The furniture may be arranged to your liking, and the Dining Room can also be closed off to make it a fully private space.

For larger groups, you can book our Dining Room & Lounge together, depending on our availability. This area provides plenty of room to move around and mingle, and it comprises our entire bookable indoor space.
If your party is above the max capacity of the Dining Room, the Lounge will be added on. The Lounge can not be booked alone, except on a case-by-case basis. This is because the Dining Room is accessed via the Lounge, so we generally can not close the Lounge for a private event without also blocking the Dining Room off from the general public.

Upstairs and away from the crowd, our Boardroom is a nice quiet space ready for your next out-of-office meeting. It features a boardroom table and movable TV with pairable AV setup. Coffee, tea, and water can be provided. Once the meeting is over, stay for lunch or dinner downstairs and enjoy a cold beer or glass of wine along with a platter or two.
Please be aware that, at this time, the Boardroom is not wheelchair accessible and can only be reached by climbing the stairs.

The room features a large TV with pairable AV setup and a sound system. The room can be serviced with catering and a private bar.
