Room Hire

Nope – room hire at Charlie’s Bar is completely free of charge. We don’t require a deposit either.

We understand that plans can change, so if you do need to cancel, we’d appreciate as much notice as possible so we can offer the space to someone else.

Yes, absolutely! You’re welcome to access the area ahead of your event for any setup or decorating.

Just let us know your plans when booking and we’ll arrange a suitable time for access.

Of course – we’d love you to make the space your own. You’re welcome to bring decorations and we’ll make sure you have time to get everything set up before your guests arrive.

Definitely. You don’t need to worry about clearing everything away at the end of the night. Our team will take care of that for you, and if you’d like us to store food or decorations, we’re happy to keep them safe for collection the following day – just let a member of staff know.

Yes! You can play your own music from your device – just let us know in advance so we can check connection compatibility.

We also have Spotify available. If you’d prefer, you can send us a playlist ahead of time and we’ll have it ready to go when your guests arrive. That way, you’re not stuck using your own phone on the night.

Absolutely – we’d be happy to help with both!

For Live Music - Just let us know what you're after – whether it's a DJ, a solo singer, a band, or a Traditional Irish Session – and we can suggest a few options and give you a rough idea of costs. You’ll be responsible for booking and paying the act directly.

For Catering - We can point you in the direction of trusted local caterers who know the venue and offer a range of styles and budgets. Whether you're after finger food, buffet-style options, or something a bit more formal, just drop us a message and we’ll send you some suggestions and menus.

Yes. There is free on-street parking after 7pm, and you’ll also find Pay and Display parking just behind Charlie’s at Down/Market/Cross Street Car Park – reasonably priced and a short walk away.

The Upstairs Lounge is located on the first floor and is accessed by stairs, so unfortunately it is not wheelchair accessible.

That said, our Main Bar is fully wheelchair friendly and includes a wheelchair accessible toilet. If you or any guests have specific accessibility needs, please don’t hesitate to get in touch — we’ll always do our best to help and make everyone feel welcome.
