Underground Parlour

Step back in time as you wander down the lantern lit staircase and into a post war, French dining bar. Velvety reds, warm dim lights, brass and varnished pine timber overloads our senses throughout the maze of nooks and private rooms of this buzzing Sydney location. Let’s start with the way you instantly imagine the smell of cigars in the air as the sounds of the grand piano and jazz band echo down the many hallways. As you’re greeted by a concierge who will take your cloak before seating you at a candlelit table for two, you might sit in the open area in front of the live band, maybe in a cosy booth, in a quiet corner or next to the wine selection or on a balcony that overlooks the live entertainment. On the other hand you might find the character from your 1940s film toking on a cigar in one of the private rooms as he plays another illegal poker game.

Almost anything set in the 1920s-50s is possible to be filmed in this stand out location with slight artistic adjustments enabling you to set the scene as if in most European countries of choice. Other hiring options include a spacious private theatre with tiered seating (again, draped in a velvet red) that can be used for conferences, talks and performances.
