About the function space

This sexy venue gives a large nod to a bygone era of jazz dens, speakeasies, smooth tunes and drinks.

The Velvet Lounge is a cosy space attached to Ragtime's front bar. giving your party exclusivity with all the convenience of the venue's bar, music and live acts.

Mingle under chandeliers and dim lamps, then sink into velvet armchairs and chaise lounges - cocktail in hand.

BYO food keeps costs down, or order from the adjacent diner for fresh hot delights. Meanwhile your entourage can buy drinks from the venue bar a few metres away.
