Over the past decade, Pause has built a reputation for a great events, big and small – for cocktail parties, major milestone events including engagement parties, 21st, 40th, 50th and Christmas functions. There is something about the space that really works; there’s a cocktail bar, plenty of seating, room for dancing, great acoustics and a generous outdoor area. Pause can comfortably accommodate groups of 20 -120 people. Best of all, there's no booking fee however we recommend that you book early for key weekend dates and public holidays. We will throw in a bottle of Ruffino Prosecco to help get the party started. Pause Bar is a Moroccan inspired oasis in the heart of Carlisle Street, Balaclava. Over the past decade, Pause has built a reputation for a great night out. Pause is a place where locals drop by for a quiet drink, friends catch up over espresso martinis and our famous wrong island iced tea mixed with dangerous dark spirits ,or settle in for a night with a quality red and a Casablanca lamb curry. Renowned for its unique beer and wine lists, a classic cocktail menu, spicy bar food (falafel, infused olives and lamb and pine nut flatbreads), laidback staff, and regular live music, there is something about the Pause space that really works. There is space for bar flies; dancing, meet ups and lounging as well as a generous outdoor area. Come down and find your spot. We look forward to seeing you and your friends at Pause Bar soon.
