I was given the job to host a wedding after-party. After looking at a bunch of bars and event…read morespaces, this was the most cost effective and fun venue I could find.
There are 2 venues, and this review is for their 2nd one which allows for late night use. The prices are very reasonable (from Dec 2015, the prices may have gone up since then, but for reference only):
Refundable Deposit to secure venue: $500
Price per head for 3hrs (Mon-Thur, 11am-6pm) HK$82
Price per head for 3hrs (Mon-Thur, 6-11pm) HK$118
Price per head for 3hrs (Fri - Sun/Public holidays, 11am-6pm) HK$120
Price per head for 3hrs (Fri - Sun/Public holidays, 6-6am) HK$160
*Extra hour after the first 3hrs = HK$300 per hour (before 11pm)
*Extra hour after the first 3hrs = HK$400 per hour (after 11pm)
*Price including all soft drinks and all the facilities in the room
*21/12-31/12 count as Christmas public holiday price
*10% service charge
*Min 10 people during weekdays and 14 during weekends
It's BYOB so we broguht a bunch of wines, beers and hard A.
They have:
Basketball hoop machine (One out of two was broken)
Karaoke Machine
Laptop with internet (can play youtube videos for Karaoke)
Wii
PS4 (can bring your own games)
Pool Table
Darts (Kind of broken scoring)
Boardgames (Jenga, monopoly, etc)
Cards
Dice
Speaker (to connect to music)
Mahjong (not sure if they have a table)
Fridge (Not that big)
Glassware and paper cups/shot cups
Wine Glasses (not that many)
Once I went in, I was greeted by a stench of bleach. It was quite offputting but once you hang around long enough, you'll get used to the space. The decor was decent, akin to a random bar in Wanchai, so don't expect high end (photos look nicer) but for the price, I was very satisfied.
There was one nice girl who was manning the space and she was helping me with pouring out the drinks and putting the wine in the fridge.
The venue is spacious, approx 1000sq ft with a decent bathroom. It has a large couch that can easily fit 6 and a table with bench that can squeeze 6 people, there are also a couple stools by the balcony. We had 20 people comfortably and I would say it can fit up to 30 people without feeling like a club.
I had wine delivered a couple hours before the event and it was smoothly received, however this has to be coordinated.
Overall it came to about $200pp including alcohol for 3 hours of fun. Definitely recommended!
I reckon Blackroom 1 may be cleaner since Blackroom 2 is used for drinking and 1 is just for day-time use.
