About Venue
Located in the heart of Balham, The Exhibit has been a local institution for the last 23 years. Our all-day dining includes both bottomless brunch and dinner, with a stunning array of menu options that include both Vegan and Vegetarian Dishes, making us the perfect spot for get-togethers no matter what you are craving, at any time of day. No day at the Exhibit is the same with a range of events including; stand-up comedy, poetry, live music, life drawing and our latest addition Puppy yoga! Whether you are dancing the night away at our late night bar, singing your heart out in our Lucky Voice Karaoke Suite or relaxing in our Boutique cinema – a night at The Exhibit is one that you will never forget.
Based in our cinema, you can sing your heart out with our built in Karaoke system! This features amazing surround sound and super comfortable sofas. Our Karaoke/cinema is available to private hire for £195 for two hours. We can comfortably seat up to 20 people. You can make this up to 30 with seated and standing. We can also host kids parties in the karaoke room on Saturday and Sunday mornings and during school holidays (we have been told the close proximity to a bar makes these parties rather more enjoyable for the parents!)

I just wanted to share how incredible my experience was with Hannah at The Exhibit. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel completely welcomed and looked after. Her energy, professionalism, and warm personality truly stood out and made the whole evening feel special. Hannah went above and beyond in every way possible — she was attentive without being overbearing, checked in on us at the perfect times, and made sure everything ran smoothly from start to finish. She handled every request with patience and a genuine smile, even when things got busy. It’s rare to come across someone who not only does their job well, but clearly enjoys making people feel comfortable and taken care of, and Hannah is exactly that person. She added such a positive vibe to the atmosphere and made our celebration feel even more memorable. Her customer service is honestly 10/10 — warm, friendly, organised, and incredibly professional. You can tell she cares about her role and the customers she serves. If you’re visiting The Exhibit, I highly recommend asking for Hannah. She really is a star and absolutely elevates the whole experience. Thank you so much, Hannah, for being amazing — you made our night one to remember!

We hired the Exhibit Balham cinema room and it was stunning & very spacious. Loved all the green & gold furniture and interior as it matched our branding colours. The screen is a perfect size for intimate events, to share visuals on. WiFi and tech all worked seamlessly. Drinks, fries, pizzas WERE DELICIOUS! The best space for intimate and powerful gatherings! Love that the room also came with the balcony area which was an amazing bonus! Everyone got to enjoy pizza & networking with a view! :) HIGHLY RECOMMEND you to book, hire and use their incredible space and a HUGE shoutout & THANKS to Ellie & Charles for looking after us with their amazing service and support to make sure we have the best event! :) Will be recommending and coming back again 100% soon!!!

I had my 30th birthday here and the process couldn’t be smoother. All the staff were so helpful in organising the event, especially Eva who answered all of my small and big questions via email. The bar staff were amazing on the day, and big shout out to Clio who made sure the drinks were ready and accommodated our requests. I hired out the secret garden for a reasonably priced deposit, and didn’t have to do much to decorate it, everyone loved the venue and the food! Thank you so much the Exhibit for making my birthday even more special 🤩

Hosted a Legally Single (Divorce party) in the outside garden area with about 65 or so. The venue was great - the manager Cristian quickly jumped in to help set up & ensure smooth running of the night. When we moved inside at 11pm, we had an area cordoned off. Pizzas served when requested & were delicious. Fantastic outside space - only caveat, if you’re booking in the winter months bring coats as it was heaters vs central heating. Great fun - thanks team!!

Wow! Finding this in Balham was surprising... lovely outdoor seating, balcony and lots of indoor too. The outdoor seating felt cosy and away from the busy life around as it had tastefully been decorated with plants. The service was so friendly and so much choice of drinks. Food was delicious. I had the beetroot salad with prawns and my friend had the full English at 1pm! Great place to hire out too as there was 2 upper floors to do so.
