THE LOFT

Tucked away in our brand-new railway arch, the Loft offers all the privacy of our Mezzanine but with a more intimate atmosphere.

The stylish décor, mixed with its memorable brickwork arches, feels almost theatrical, creating an ideal setting for your gaming arena.

And with your own bar just a few feet from every chair, you’re never too far from the personal touch.
