A Perfect Venue for Your Private Event
Nestled in the heart of Martinborough at 2 Cambridge Road, Tōhi Gin Room & Eatery offers a dreamy blend of style, sophistry and spirited fun – ideal for your next event with DJ spinning the soundtrack. Housed in a beautifully restored former bank-managers’ whare, this venue pairs soaring ceilings, soft lighting, elegant chandeliers and warm finishes with quirky curios and a touch of the dramatic – all setting a base that’s classy, intimate, and full of possibility.
Expect more than 30 New Zealand gins (including their own Home, Land & Sea trinity), gin flights to compare botanicals, house cocktails, beer on tap from Martinborough Brewery, local boutique wines plus sparkling options on tap.
While drinks flow, the Thai-inspired menu delights: small plates like crispy squid, pork belly or spring rolls; bowls of pad Thai, rich curries, som tum salad, larb; all with gluten-free and vegan choices so every guest eats well.
For an evening with a DJ, Tōhi flexes beautifully. Early on, ambient soundscapes or chill beats will match the dining experience; later, the lighting mood, the layout and pace ease into something more energised. With clever staging and a DJ who reads the room, you can use the space for casual mingling or gather people close for dancing. Location is a plus – central, walkable, visible – making arrival easy and atmosphere electric.
If you’re after a venue with personality, great drinks, delicious food, and enough flexibility to let a DJ tailor the evening’s tone – from mellow start to vibrant crescendo – Tōhi Gin Room & Eatery delivers. Just check in with the team about sound, layout and operating hours so the party runs just how you want it.
