Four spaces, one address

Whether you’re hosting an intimate networking evening, a brand launch, or an end-of-year celebration for hundreds, ARQ offers three versatile venues — each designed to deliver a seamless blend of sophistication, technology, and atmosphere.

  • Arena — up to 700 guests. The main floor. Full production, big-room energy, built for the whole-company party.
  • Basement — 400 to 500 guests. A club floor with its own character. Ideal for mid-size teams that still want the full night out.
  • Trash Alley — up to 150 guests. Open-air laneway space. Perfect for drinks and canapés before the dance floor opens.
  • VIP Room — up to 60 guests. A private corner for leadership drinks, award winners, or the after-hours crew.
