Had a great night but the venue was too warm inside and there were not ample restrooms for everyone in attendance.

Arcana hosted my Husband’s surprise 40th Birthday in the Temperance Garden bar. Andrew went above and beyond to make sure that all of my “wishes” were met in a relaxed and friendly manner. Nothing was too much trouble and communication was prompt. All of our guests loved the spaced and it lent beautifully to catering to the varying ages we had at our party. The drinks menu was all class and the bar staff were exceptional. I will definitely be recommending you to all of my friends. It was a perfect setting for a fun and fabulous night!! Thank you 🙏🏼

I hosted my Dance and Mindfulness Workshop at the Moon Room in Arcana and it was absolutely perfect. The room was fantastic and Andrew went the extra mile to help me make the experience the best... from answering my messages, to instructions and even organising food and drinks for the event. I already booked again for my next workshop! Thank you Andrew and Arcana team for being so awesome! CR

Arcana was the perfect place to hold our afternoon engagement party. Despite last minute COVID restrictions limiting our numbers, everyone in attendance loved the venue and the service was excellent. The set up is great that you hardly need to add a thing. The Temperance Bar is very trendy and the owners are very easy going and flexible with arrangements as well. Considering majority of the quotes we received for other city venues were well over $5000 minimum spend with not nearly as many options or flexibility, we were so glad to have come across Arcana which was a much more suitable and affordable option for us.

Fantastic venue & hiring space. For our event we used the space as a theatre for our dance company gala night performance. The staff were so easy to work with & efficient. The bar space is a beautiful asset to the space for the audience to arrive & enjoy a pre-show beverage in a very contemporary space. Thank you Arcana Brisbane.

Arcana hosted our joint 30th and we couldn't have asked for a better venue or host! The space was perfect for what we wanted and Andrew went above and beyond to help make our night the extra bit awesome! Thank you so much to Andrew and the team at Arcana!

Arcana is a super cool, hidden gem in the back of an industrial area (hello, no noise restrictions and heaps of parking!) and the team of staff is excellent. I've used the Empress Theatre to produce a show that was hugely successful and the team there was great to collaborate with, and I regularly book the smaller rooms for rehearsals/filming etc. I love that you can book everything immediately online and see the availability. Arcana has been so awesome for all my needs. Highly recommend!
