We offer a selection of bespoke cocktails, often with an Asian twist such as the Sriracha Spritz or Japanese Shandy, along with most of the classics. Our wine list features a variety of options, along with our chosen pairings that go well with our food. For beer lovers, we have ten rotating taps featuring local and international selections.
Faith In Strangers has been built as a modern discothèque, so it’s ideal for celebrations, parties and large get-togethers such as birthdays. We have a fully operational commercial kitchen so we can also welcome in guest caterers for large dining events or light bites, with wine pairings and cocktails.
We want to help make your event a success, so please talk to us about your plans and we will be happy to help.
Hidden from the public view, journey on up the secret entrance and through two bespoke light and audio art installations (which you can customise to your preference) to an environment that’s been designed from the ground up to stimulate all the senses and interact with the audience to create that awe inspiring factor that will kick the events off with a high energy atmosphere from all of your attendees.
To carry on inspiring the energy, you could customise the playlist on our bespoke built jukebox in the restrooms.

We take our sound seriously.
The first thing you’ll notice about Faith In Strangers is the amazing views, the second might be how good the venue sounds. Architecturally designed with acoustic panelling and angled walls has created a sonically sound housing for our cusotm built ‘Poseidon Sound System’
The venue also hosts a unique multi-channel array set up of Funktion One speakers. 24 of them are placed around the venue which creates the opportunity to make spatial sound scapes along with separate individual outputs, evoking a sense of theatre that immerses the audience from entering the building.
What does this mean? — You’ll be able to greet your guests with pre-recorded audio content in all the different zones as you please, as your guests enter the venue, walking through the hallway, up the stairs, in the bogs and in the different areas of the main space too. Perfect for a brand launch or to intro the evening and continually engage over the course of the event.
We also have the high-fidelity audiophile Klipsch Cornwall speakers running through Icon Audio valve preamps and Dual Quad QSP power amps which create one of the most beautiful sounding set ups available, for the perfect highest of quality background music, though they can also go loud if needed!
