Frequently Asked Questions
Do you accept cash?
No. We are unable to accept cash payments; our venues are card only. Our terminals have recently been updated to accept all major card providers worldwide including JCB, Alipay, WeChat, and UnionPay.
When are last orders?
Our bar team will call last orders between 15 minutes before the advertised closing time of the event.
Can I bring a non‑SOAS friend?
Yes — you can. They will need to sign in at reception to get through the gates.
Do I need ID?
Our bar team operates a Challenge 21 policy. If you look under 21 you may be asked for proof of age when ordering. National ID, driving licence or passport are all valid. During ticketed event nights, students may be asked to show their student card along with ID at entry.
