APT 101

What is it? Hides around Asoke, presenting itself less like a nightclub and more like a stylish friend’s penthouse where every room holds a different mood. Created by Soho Hospitality, the space borrows heavily from 1970s New York glamour filtered through a Mid-Century Modern lens. Three distinct zones shape the experience. The Arcade offers a semi-private corner with vinyl listening sessions and a pool table, perfect for smaller groups craving nostalgia with their drinks. The Pantry is more cosy and conversational, complete with replica fireplace, curated artworks and comfortable furniture that encourages long chats over music at the right decibel-level. The Club House, on the other hand, delivers late-night energy, hosting DJs across tech house, afro house, melodic house alongside hip-hop and R&B. An outdoor balcony provides a breather with city views when you need a moment away from the dancefloor.

Why we love it: Flexibility makes the venue feel playful rather than predictable. You can start with chilled conversation, shift towards dancing later and still keep the night cohesive without leaving the building. Interiors feel cinematic yet approachable, giving everyone permission to dress up without feeling out of place. Cocktails, curated by Filippo Valmori, draw inspiration from ‘70s New York nightlife while keeping flavours modern. His background at Paradiso adds credibility without turning the menu pretentious. Music programming stays varied enough to keep regulars curious, making repeat visits feel fresh.

Time Out tip: Book The Arcade if your group prefers a semi-private hang with vinyl soundtracks. Choose The Pantry for relaxed evenings when conversation takes priority. Head to The Club House later when DJs raise the tempo, then escape to the balcony for a breather between sets.
