Main Bar Hire, The Refinery - Bankside
The Main Bar is a bar in The Refinery Bankside centered on a long, continuous counter that runs the room's length and anchors activity.
Design: The room pairs retro-chic fittings and vintage touches with industrial-height ceilings and broad windows that bring abundant natural light. The palette uses warm brass pendant lighting, patterned wallcovering and mixed-height seating in bright upholstery.
Features: A PA system and ceiling speakers serve the space and hosts may play their own music. Wireless internet and air conditioning are installed. Wheelchair access is provided and outdoor seating is used in warmer months.
Ideal for: Friend groups and informal work teams seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or casual seated drinks.
