Loop is a versatile project space/bar hybrid, presenting film, audio-visual performance and creative forums. The bar provides a warm and sophisticated ambience to enjoy a quiet beer or cocktail with friends or your own personally tailored function. Purpose built screens and audio-visual equipment make Loop ideal for all digital media events and our eclectic program ensures Loop reinvents itself nightly. Weekends offer a more energetic romp, soaking up tunes expertly mixed and diced by our resident DJs, always accompanied by live visual artists.

Pause would like to invite you to its first event in 2012!

Documentary screening at 8pm.
