The venue

Built for evenings that actually take off

The Backyard is one main room with a real dance floor, flanked by two independent private lounges, a bar and an outdoor terrace. Sound, lighting, microphones, tables and chairs are part of the room — you bring the people.

Below is everything the venue has, and, because we would rather be straightforward, what it does not.

The main room

102m²

Room: 8.5 m × 12 m
Floor: About 102 m²
Seated dinner: 70 to 80 guests
Maximum: 100 guests
Mirror wall: 8 m × 2 m

One big room, with a real dance floor

8.5 m × 12 m, roughly 102 m² of floor: a room built for dancing, with professional sound, adjustable lighting and a DJ booth.

For a seated dinner it is comfortable at 70 to 80 people, and 100 is possible with a careful layout. We will tell you honestly which applies to your event.

The lounges

Two private lounges

Two independent lounges sit next to the main room. They work well as a space for the bride to get ready, a backstage for performers, or a quiet corner for families and children.

Between them you will find leather armchairs, a vintage piano, sofas, old televisions and a ceiling of vinyl records.

The bar

A bar that looks like a bar

Vintage signs on the wall, glasses hanging above the counter, staff behind it. The bar is operated by The Backyard — that is what allows the rental price to stay where it is. There is no minimum consumption and no spending threshold to reach.

Drinks work with tokens: you buy as many as you like and hand them out freely.

1 token: A soft drink, water, juice, coffee, a beer or a glass of wine
2 tokens: A cocktail or a spirit

Tokens are valid all evening and can be topped up during the night in batches of 50, so start low and add more if needed. Unused tokens are not refunded. Once the tokens run out, the bar stays open and guests pay for their own drinks.

The terrace

An outdoor terrace — a bonus, not a garden

There is an outdoor terrace, somewhere to step outside for some air. It is a bonus space rather than a garden for a reception, and we would rather say so now than have you plan around it.

Included in the room

Sound and lighting
A professional sound system built for dancing, shows and speeches, adjustable lighting, 2 wireless microphones and a DJ booth. All included.
Tables and chairs
100 chairs and 8 tables included. For a large seated dinner, extra tables can be rented.
Tableware
Plates, cutlery and glassware for up to 100 guests. Your caterer does not need to bring any.
Professional kitchen
Available to the caterer you choose — or to our own chef.
Projector and screen
Available as an option: photo montage, blind test, awards ceremony or themed evening.
Mirror wall
8 m × 2 m, which is why dance teachers and workshop organisers like the room.

The decoration

A decor you don't have to build

The venue already has a strong character: vintage televisions, a wall of African masks, a bookshelf, a pirate lounge. Many clients find half their theme is already in place.

You can decorate the room entirely, and you choose your own DJ, florist, photographer or decorator. We can recommend people we work with regularly, but they are suggestions, nothing more.

Good to know

We would rather be straightforward now than surprise you later.

No fixed stage
One can be brought in, but it takes a real share of the dance floor. Worth discussing before you commit.
Not accessible for reduced mobility
The venue is not accessible for guests with reduced mobility. Tell us early and we will walk you through what the layout allows.
The terrace is a bonus
Great for some air, not a garden for a reception.
No fireworks, no pets, no food trucks
None of the three is possible at our location.
Music stops 30 minutes before the end
Events can run until 2 am. Guests are asked to be discreet outside when they leave.

Before you ask for a quote

The questions we hear most on this topic. Read the full FAQ

How many people can you host?

Up to 100 guests. For a seated dinner the room is comfortable at 70 to 80 people, and 100 is possible with a careful layout — we will tell you honestly which applies to your event.

Are there sound restrictions?

The room was built for dancing, so there is no volume limit inside that would spoil your evening. We ask only that the music stops at the agreed time and that guests are discreet outside when they leave.

Can we decorate the room ourselves?

Yes, entirely. The venue already has a strong character — vintage televisions, a wall of African masks, a bookshelf, a pirate lounge — so many clients find half their theme is already in place.
