Full Venue Hire at Bubba Oasis

A retractable roof, a ground-floor lounge with a performance stage, and a location five minutes from Angel tube — Bubba Oasis is a cocktail bar built around the problem every London event planner knows too well: wanting a rooftop venue without gambling on the weather. The venue splits across two floors, each with a distinct character. Upstairs, the weatherproof rooftop terrace takes 120 standing or 60 for a seated dinner. The retractable roof opens fully in good weather and closes to keep rain out without killing the atmosphere — heaters, fairy lights, and hanging plants mean it works year-round rather than as a fair-weather afterthought. West-facing orientation delivers sunset views across Islington rooftops, and the private bar on the terrace floor keeps drinks service self-contained.

Bubba Oasis Ground Floor — Stage, Lounge, and Cocktail Bar

Downstairs is a different proposition entirely. The Cosy Living Room and Cocktail Bar holds 100 standing or 60 seated, with shabby-chic furniture, large sofas, and enough natural light for daytime events. The built-in performance stage makes it a working space for live bands, acoustic sets, panel talks, and DJ sets — not a makeshift corner with a mic stand, but a proper stage with a high-spec sound system. For full venue hire, both floors combine to take up to 300 standing, giving corporate socials, birthday parties, and Christmas events genuine room to breathe across two levels with different energies.

Entertainment and Production at Bubba Oasis

Running hundreds of events a year has given the venue deep contacts in London’s entertainment scene. Through their network, they can arrange DJs, live bands, magicians, fire breathers, dancers, and acrobats — production that would normally require a separate supplier relationship. Branding options go further than most bars: branded cocktail cups, bespoke cocktail menus, and logo projection onto walls are all standard offerings for corporate hires. The high-spec sound system runs across both floors, so whether entertainment is focused on the rooftop or the ground-floor stage, audio quality holds up without needing external rig hire.

Catering and Drinks at Bubba Oasis

In-house catering covers everything from small plates and sharing boards through to three-course sit-down meals for up to 60. External catering isn’t permitted, but the range is broad enough that most event formats are covered — breakfast events, brunch, afternoon receptions, and late-night parties all fall within the kitchen’s scope. Both floors run full cocktail bars alongside craft beers and wines, and the team will build bespoke cocktail menus around a brief or brand theme. Alcohol licence runs until midnight.

Practical Details for Bubba Oasis Events

Microphones, projectors, and the venue’s sound system are available across both floors. The Upper Street location puts it in one of North London’s liveliest strips, five minutes’ walk from Angel station and a single Northern line stop from King’s Cross St Pancras. For events in the 60–300 range — particularly birthdays, engagement drinks, corporate socials, and Christmas parties — it’s a genuinely year-round rooftop option in Zone 1.
