We had such a wonderful time meeting Andrew, and seeing the beautiful ARCANA! A place for your ideas to come to life! Such a lovely place for a wedding, party, or event. Andrew went above and beyond to make our wedding day ,what we wanted. Unfortunately we had to cancel due to covid. But we plan to book it again for our birthdays.

I had my 21st birthday party at the Temperance Garden Bar and it was such a lovely night! All night I had guests commenting on how much they liked the venue. The staff were amazing and very accomodating to everyone. A special mention must be given to Andrew (the owner) for managing the night splendidly and ensuring everyone was having a great time!

We had a party last night at the Temperance bar. What a fantastic night it was. Andrew was so helpful and responsive from our first contact until the event and really helped us make the event everything we wanted. The staff were all so lovely and the area looks so amazing at night. Our guests constantly told us what a great venue it was. Great selection of drinks at the bar too. I would highly recommend this venue!
