ABOUT

Welcome to DWB, an ex-bar turned dry hire event space in the heart of Truman Brewery. With its moody interiors, industrial textures, and built-in bar bones, this is a venue that holds its history — but hands you the creative control. Stripped-back, character-rich, and ready for whatever you throw at it.


Bar Bones. Brand Freedom.
Inside you’ll find concrete floors, steel fixtures, and booth seating with bite. The original wraparound bar and bar-back infrastructure are still in place — giving you the flexibility to stock it, brand it, or ignore it entirely.
Perfect for everything from product drops and private launches to brand-led socials and listening parties — DWB is as adaptable as it is atmospheric. It’s built for brands, collectives, and creatives who want a space that works hard and holds a vibe.

Your Sound. Your Setup.
Fully dry hire — bring your own crew, gear, and concept.

Ideal for listening parties — with defined zones for sound, seating, and soft focus.

Plenty of lounge space for laid-back engagement or intimate gatherings.

Long bar + breakout nooks for pop-up F&B, signings, or merch drops.

Plug-and-play potential for DJs, decks, or curated audio setups.

External-facing frontage for visibility, foot traffic, and street presence.



Plug In. Pop Off.
Whether it’s a listening party, album drop, late-night panel, brand showcase, or something totally off-format, DWB gives you space, structure, and room to breathe — without getting in the way.
📩 Book a viewing, map out your takeover, and get your concept rolling.
📍 Bar soul. Blank canvas. Just add culture.
