Looking for a unique, intimate venue for your office Christmas party or festive night out in Haywards Heath this year? We are thrilled to announce that Southside Bars is officially teaming up with MINCKA Coffee to transform one of Haywards Heath’s favourite local spots to bring you MINCKA After Dark.
Whether you’re looking for an exclusive venue takeover or planning a smaller team night out, this collaboration is set to be one of our most exciting Christmas party bar hire experiences yet.
Coffee Shop by Day. Cocktail Bar by Night.
By day, MINCKA Coffee is known for its warm, welcoming vibe, exceptional specialty coffee, and stylish, contemporary interior. But for a select few nights this festive season, as the sun sets and the doors close on daytime trade, the space undergoes a total transformation.
Warm ambient lighting, festive decor, live music, and the aroma of Christmas spices set the backdrop. We’re bringing our full mobile cocktail bar experience right into MINCKA, turning the beloved coffee house into a chic, intimate late-night cocktail bar and event venue.
The Perfect Match: Specialty Coffee Meets Craft Cocktails
This collaboration brings together the best of both worlds: MINCKA’s passion for high-quality food and drink, paired with Southside Bars’ mixology and high-energy party service.
To mark the occasion, we’ve even collaborated on a special seasonal menu—including our signature Gingerbread MINCKA Espresso Martini, crafted using MINCKA’s own freshly roasted coffee beans, along with winter warmers, festive fizzes, and artisan cocktail classics.
Whether you’re lounging with a cocktail in hand or gathering around a festive feast board, the venue offers a cozy, premium party environment that feels distinctly different from the standard pub or crowded restaurant.
An Exclusive Pop-Up Experience (12 Nights Only)
Because MINCKA remains a bustling daytime hub throughout the holiday season, MINCKA After Dark will operate for just 12 exclusive nights across November and December:
- November: Friday 27th & Saturday 28th
- December: Thursday 3rd, Friday 4th, Saturday 5th, Thursday 10th, Friday 11th, Saturday 12th, Wednesday 16th, Thursday 17th, Friday 18th & Saturday 19th.
With such a limited calendar, the venue will serve as a cozy pop-up spot where local businesses and friend groups can come together under one roof.
Celebrate With Us
Whether you’re looking for an exclusive venue takeover for a larger team (up to 100 guests) or want to join one of our shared party nights with a smaller group (4 to 29 guests), MINCKA After Dark provides the complete venue and bar setup under one roof. We even offer optional cocktail masterclasses if you want to get your team behind the bar! Explore our full Christmas party packages and pricing to see how we can tailor the night for your group.
