A luxurious ground floor bar with comfortable sofa seating plus an upper floor featuring an intimate and multi-functional theatre space with tables, chairs, bar, all fully air conditioned plus state of the art sound and lighting. The upper theatre lends itself to a more personal entertainment experience and many renowned performers and Jazz musicians are lining up to take their place on a stage that allows them to truly connect with their audience.
