This licensed facility has been part of the capitals entertainment scene for many years and is now being made available to Wellington again after a few quiet years. Formerly known as James Cabaret it has hosted many top acts over the years and many fond memories for generations of Wellingtonians.
The Frontroom is a musician’s room with wonderful acoustics, at ground level and the mezzanine floor and provides an up close and personal feeling for live entertainment.
The Frontroom has many varied uses from live bands, weddings, age parties etc. It also has a commercial kitchen so caterers can host their functions as well.
Capacity for standing or seated events is very good and provides Wellington with a facility bigger than most currently available.
We welcome any inquiry to discuss any function or event you might be planning.
Enjoy working out at a more affordable rate with NO contracts! Plus enjoy the freedom of working out at a time that suits you - unlike most clubs we're open round the clock so you can pop in whenever you feel like it!
