WritING rooms

Small Time today has three rooms available to book, all with their own unique and individual spin. The rooms are all sound-treated and equipped with all the basic equipment you need for your ideal writing experience. Just plug in your laptop and go! One day and one evening session available each day, per room.

Small Time also has multiple common spaces - a lounge with pool table, the piano den with it’s cosy couch plus the rooftop patio. See Nelson at Bar Andino to order a drink from the bar and enjoy these areas during your time with us.

And in case you get peckish, there’s always hot delicious empanadas being served downstairs and when Bar Andino is closed, we’re only a stones throw from all the great cuisine Brunswick has to offer…

berghain room

This unique space, situated downstairs by the Small Time bar and Piano Den has the feeling of being amongst it, while still enjoying complete soundproofing and great acoustics. The Berghain room is loved by producers, podcasters and writers for its underground feel, moody lighting, and comfy seating for a small crew.

NB: This room is Wheelchair Accessible

CBGB room

This seemingly humble room has already housed members of Arcade Fire, DMA’S, and The Jezabels to name a few. CBGB is a cute and cosy light filled studio that gives your intimate sessions an uplifting, home-away-from-home vibe.

Hacienda is the perfect space to sit down on the couch, stare out the window and get inspiration from the passers by down below on Albert St, while enjoying the luxuries of a soundproofed, air-conditioned space.
