Private Party Venue

A closed lounge with its own entrance, arcade machines, games tables and a bar you don't share with strangers. Birthdays, team nights, breakups survived — we don't judge the occasion, we stock the jukebox. From NZ$850 an evening.

CAPACITY / HOURS Up to 60 · until 1am
BAR / ENTRY Own bar · own entrance
What's in the room

Loud, glossy and gloriously unnecessary

The arcade wall

Six restored machines on free play all night — Pac-Man, a pinball table with opinions, and a racing cabinet that ruins friendships responsibly.

GAMES TABLES

Pool, foosball and a card table with a dealer who only pretends to be impartial.

Cues racked, chalk included

Jukebox & playlist rights

Your playlist on our speakers, or the jukebox if your taste needs adult supervision. Sound limiter keeps the neighbours friendly.

The private bar

Two staff, your tab, local beer and a cocktail list that can be themed. Under-18 parties get the zero-proof menu — it's genuinely good.

How a night runs

Three steps to a locked door

01 — Pick a date

Call or send the form. The lounge books one party at a time — if your date's free, it's yours alone.

02 — Build the night

Bar tab structure, playlist, catering, decorations. One planning call covers it — we've done this 120-odd times.

03 — Take over

Own entrance, own staff, own soundtrack. We stay out of the way until 1am, then help you find the taxis.

ADD-ON Six guest rooms upstairs for the survivors.

On film

A Saturday in the lounge, 21:9

Filmed at a 40th · with permission
SHOT 01 20:00 — doors open The birthday crowd finds the arcade wall in under ninety seconds. A house record.
SHOT 02 22:30 — the foosball final Two departments, one grudge, best of nine. HR was informed and amused.
SHOT 03 00:50 — last song The limiter never tripped and the playlist ran out exactly on cue. Professionalism.

"Forty guests, a pinball grudge match and a bar tab that ended in applause. Nobody checked their phone once — I have the photos to prove it."
