BOOKINGS POLICY

GENERAL CONDITIONS

No under 18’s allowed in our private party spaces unless agreed upon beforehand.

All bookings of over 8 require a deposit to confirm the booking. This deposit can be redeemed against your final bill, or alternatively refunded on your arrival.

Escapism Bars operate a minimum spend policy for any area or private hire bookings.

Should you fail to meet the minimum spend then deposit monies will be retained to the value of the shortfall against the agreed minimum spend.

Please note that once paid, all payments are non-refundable.
