Side Space Private Room 70 100 - from 2000 from 4000

As you wander through Side Store and up past the buzz of Side Bar, you’ll find a door that opens into something different - a tucked-away space where the lights are low, the music moves through eras, and time seems to slow down. Welcome to Side Space.

Recently reimagined and ready to host anything from one-off parties to long-term pop-ups, Side Space comes with its own entrance and direct access to the bar.

It’s your blank canvas - perfect for private gatherings, brand activations, or something entirely your own.
We can tailor the layout to suit your setup and connect you with trusted local suppliers for styling, DJs, and entertainment.

 

 
Side Store Private Room 22 60 - from 3000 from 5000

By Day

Step inside Side Store. A mid century-themed hangout filled with early morning golden sunlight, velvet matcha and freshly-ground beans, supplied by local coffee roasters, Extract Coffee.

By Night

The space transforms to a moody, ambient-lit late-night store. The perfect backdrop for a bottle of wine and Tartuffe’s signature evening menu, the ideal spot for slow sips and close conversation.

Side Bar 0 200 - from 12000 -

Side Bar, the city’s low-lit sanctuary of sound and taste.

Think mid-century interiors, low-lit allure, and a rotation of DJs spinning funk, soul, disco & house. Tartuffe Bistro’s plates make the rounds and the sofas you long for in your living room keep you until the early hours.

Come for a cocktail, stay for the mood.
