Opening late October. December presale is open.

Private events

Some nights need more than a room.

Some parties outgrow a single room. Others fit fine and still want the night to be more than a door and a song list. Either way we plan it with you rather than selling it from a calendar.

Which one is yours?

A night worth fussing over

A bachelorette, a fortieth, somebody's last night in town. Any size, even one room. Tell us what you are imagining and we will work out how to do it.

A work party that has to land

Holiday parties, away days, a night out with clients. A bar tab, rooms that are yours all evening, and a plan made with you rather than left to you.

The whole building

Six rooms and the lounge, to yourselves. The lounge is where everyone gathers between songs, Neon Tokyo takes the big moment with up to 20 singers, and smaller groups peel off into the rooms around it.

Rooms hold 4, 10 or 20 singers and start at $25 an hour. A private event is quoted as a whole rather than added up from that, so tell us the shape of it and we will come back with a number.

Worth knowing.

There is a full bar

Plus snacks and bar food. Bring a birthday cake if you like. Other than that, no outside food, and no outside drink at all.

Decorate it

Balloons and banners are welcome. Nothing that sticks or scatters, so no confetti, glitter, tape or pins.

All ages until 9 PM

Before nine, under-21s are welcome in a private room and in the lounge, though not at the bar. Any session running past nine is 21 and over, every guest.

Parking is sorted

We validate four hours in the Box Factory lot at check-in, so an ordinary night out costs nothing to park.
