Upstairs Beresford
Upstairs Beresford
Inspired by the New York’s famous live music venue, Joes’ Pub, Upstairs Beresford was designed to ensure that performers - as well as their audience - have the time of their lives. With decadent décor, state of the art technology and a full suite of backstage amenities, Upstairs Beresford has become a firm favourite among music fans and artists alike.
It’s a venue purpose built to host memorable live music and entertainment events, product launches and edgy cocktail parties. Located on level one of The Beresford Hotel, this multipurpose venue is a unique space surrounded by some striking art-deco design. Upstairs has a piano-shaped stage, two large balconies, tiered booths and both a bar in the main room and a cocktail lounge out back.
Showcases, product launches, team building events, live concerts, comedy, theatre and corporate parties, Upstairs Beresford has hosted the lot since its launch in 2011.
Throw in a cutting edge sound system that regularly blows audiences away and you have a live event that will live on long after lots of other “live” events have died.
Upstairs Beresford is truly a high performance venue.
