A venue is much more than a space to hold an event at. It sets the ambience and orientates your attendees to the type of event you\u2019re organising.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re an organiser of events in any of these genres – music gigs and concerts, meetups and community events, arts and design – you\u2019ll want to check out these six off-beat (read: out of Tiong Bahru) cafes that doubles up as hipster but cosy event venues.<\/p>\n

\"Venue<\/p>\n

Lowercase<\/strong><\/a> – It\u2019s warm amber lighting makes the otherwise open space cosy and perfect for easing attendees into a relaxed mood to soak in the evening. Although lacking in quality acoustics, the extremely helpful team at Lowercase more than makes up for it. Contact: 6337 5581 <\/p>\n

\"Venue<\/p>\n

The Bravery<\/strong><\/a> fits about 50 people comfortably despite a large communal table occupying a significant portion of the space. Nonetheless, a string of light baubles and sometimes commissioned art pieces decked out as centrepieces on the desk often adds to the cafe\u2019s character and an event\u2019s laid-back atmosphere. Plus, it\u2019s perfect for displaying event-related merchandise. The Design Society<\/a> made full use of the table with an array of art books and their own publication journal. Contact: 6225 4387<\/p>\n

\"Venue<\/p>\n

Artistry<\/strong><\/a> is both an art gallery and cafe situated at the corner of heritage district, Kampong Glam. It\u2019s one of the rare F&B spaces in Singapore that actively champions emerging artists in the creative scene so if you have an arts exhibit, talk, or gig you\u2019d like to host, think Artistry. Contact: 6298 2420<\/p>\n

\"Venue<\/p>\n

Group Therapy<\/strong><\/a>, located on the second floor of a shophouse in the Duxton precinct, offers up their space for smaller events. With cosy furnishings and boarded flooring, potted flora to liven up the room, and an aura of warmth glowing from its hanging bulbs, it almost feels like we\u2019re being transported out of Singapore, just for a second. Contact: 6222 2554<\/p>\n

\"Venue<\/p>\n

L\u2019etoile Cafe<\/strong><\/a>\u2018s homely second story with its indie-like odd-ball mix of both modern and vintage furniture is set aside for hosting events. The space has seen the likes of the White Noise Quartet<\/a> album debut and the private screening of History Channel\u2019s Vikings. We\u2019d dare say it\u2019s worth the recce if you\u2019re scouting for a quaint yet quirky space for your next event. Contact: 6298 2872<\/p>\n

\"Venue<\/p>\n

The 3rd Space<\/strong><\/a> aims to be that events space to connect people out of home and office. With six rooms to choose from, our personal favourites has got to be The Square, The Lounge, and The L-Shaped rooms for their cosier vibe (and perhaps a slight bias to the bright cheery buntings, paper pom poms, and art that adorn their walls and ceiling).
