Our Spaces
Full Gazebo
Situated on the top floor of Basalt, this open-air rooftop bar has 180-degree views of the Howick skyline with a superb indoor / outdoor feel. Park up on our surrounding deck, the best spot in Howick to people watch, enjoy a lazy summer afternoon bite or sip on a cocktail as you watch the sun go down. All events for 40 – 60 guests can enjoy the use of our TV screen, your own cordoned off area and personalised service from the bar.
Cocktail 100
Restaurant
Our bright and cosy semi-private restaurant comes complete with a fireplace at its heart, perfectly balanced by the energy and atmosphere from the main bar nearby. Naturally forming a well sectioned off area taking up half of the restaurant, this space can be tailored to suit any dining occasion, including small, intimate wedding receptions.
