Private lounge booking in Waterloo
Private lounge bookings at 9 King Street North.
Full room for up to seventy-two. Partial room for up to thirty-two. Drinks-and-snacks packages from nine.
A private booking is the room held still for one party.
A private booking at IX is the room held still for one party. The shape of the room is small, and the shape works at three scopes: a full-room buyout, a partial-room booking, and a drinks-and-snacks package on couches or a banquette. Each scope has a deposit, a contract, and a contact at IX who runs the night. The booking confirms when the deposit lands and the contract is countersigned.
Full room.
All eight couches, the banquettes, the bar, the back booth, and the DJ booth. Up to seventy-two guests seated. Private bar, dedicated bartenders, the room's DJ booth available with a guest selector or our resident. Minimum spend applies; the number sits in line with the night you are booking. Wednesday and Thursday read lower than Friday and Saturday. The contract holds the room from 7pm to 2am. A walk-through with the team before the night is included.
Partial room.
The back half of the room, including three banquettes and the back booth. Up to thirty-two guests seated. Walk-in flow continues at the bar and the front couches. The right scope for a birthday, a work night, or a wedding pre-party that wants the room without owning it. The deposit is smaller and the contract is one page. The booking runs from 7pm to midnight on a default night; later windows hold by request.
Drinks and snacks package.
A couch group or a banquette held for a party of nine to twenty, with a pre-paid drinks and snacks package. The simplest scope and the fastest to confirm. The bar pre-builds a drinks tier and the kitchen pre-builds a snacks tier; both can be customised with a one-line brief. The booking confirms the moment the deposit lands. The right scope for an after-dinner party, a small birthday, or a founder dinner that is moving to drinks.
How the booking process runs.
Send the form on the private events page with the date, the size, and the scope. We reply within twenty-four hours with a hold on the date, deposit terms, and a contract draft. Holds are valid for forty-eight hours. Once the deposit lands and the contract is countersigned, the night is confirmed. The day-of contact at IX walks the team through the room and the timing the morning of the booking. Cancellations follow the contract; the deposit is refundable up to two weeks out, partial inside that, non-refundable inside seventy-two hours.
