THECOCKTAILLOUNGE

Ever been at a club and just wanted a separate room — a decent drink, and people you can actually hear?

Pride has one. Cocktails made by hand — not batched, not poured from a tap — in a room set out for conversation. Start the night civilised, or take a break when you meet someone, or when the dancefloor has you beat.

Pride at a slower tempo

Step through the pink flamingo doors and it's a bit of an Alice-in-Wonderland moment — a complete change from the colour and movement of the main room. An oasis of calm. Sit with a cocktail, chat with a mate, or find a friend.

The cocktails are worth it: the bar crew are fussy about quality and they care. But if you just want a vodka and soda or a G&T up here, that's fine too. Relax with whatever you like.

Best for: Date nights · Birthday drinks · Pre-show cocktails · Small celebrations · Quiet catch-ups · One drink before the dancefloor

A FRAC FANCY
STILL PRIDE

Low light, soft music, warm decor, good drinks, nice people — even a few fake candles and flowers. Still Pride, though: sometimes we're allowed something nice.

Enquire about the Lounge.

Planning a birthday, date night, pre-show drink, small celebration, private catch-up, or community gathering?

The Cocktail Lounge works beautifully for seated drinks, with space left for standing and mingling — and it's private once the doors are closed. A few hours in the good room, then everyone joins the drag shows and DJs in the main room. Tell us what you're planning and we'll make it easy.
