What's Inside?

The look of the bar on ground level is very urban, raw, industrial; with graffiti and stencil art featuring, and the walls in their original condition.

x&y is long and lean, with the bar itself a dominating fixture, made of recycled industrial palettes topped with stone and inlaid with stunning lighting design. There’s cool ‘spaces’ – cages – where you can sit back, or can stand and enjoy the music and the crowd. Downstairs is the x&y cocktail bar, very different, yet just as edgy and anti-establishment – think Thunderbirds meets James Bond circa 1970s. If the main upstairs bar is raw the downstairs bar is an escape; both vital to the transcape of the Valley.
