BEDROOM BAR SUMMER PARTY!!!

We love the thought of summer. Parks, cans of beer, music, bright late nights and music and dancing and such. We're so excited we're hosting a FREE party, packed with comedy, music, food and drinks. To gain entry, all you have to do is pop by and collect wristbands (which, truth be told, haven't actually arrived yet, so just leave your name and email address at the bar) and voila, you're in.

Look forward to seeing you there!

It don't mean a thing...

... if it aint got that swing. And we couldn't agree more as the folk from WHITE MINK and ELECTRO SWING head to Bedroom Bar with a host of guests ranging from SWING PATROL swing dancers, to live act MANOUCHE, AV specialist DJ KORMAC as well as ODJBOX and the rest of the White Mink Electro Swing residents.

It's a night of true decadence and fancy dress where you encouraged to look divine and dance all night long. We would like to welcome music of the 1920s &amp;amp; 30s to the madness that is the 21st century. Advance tickets still available!!!

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 15:50:52 +0000

Christmas Party Fun

Tue, 15 Nov 2011 13:13:37 +0000

So, everyone loves a good Christmas party right? Parties like the one in the picture?

Of course not.

They're all being forced to wear weird Christmas hats and pose for awkward pictures and wear shirts and jumpers like the guy on the left. Sure, the food was probably good but bet it was just Grandma doing all the cooking. Which sucks - nice Christmas she must've had.

And so, check out our Christmas parties at Bedroom Bar here OR you can hire out the entire chill out room (here) for a business function and so on.

Eat, drink and be merry this festive season and give poor Grandma a break.
