The Toff’s main bar features a tram carriage
down the middle with intimate booths—the
perfect place for a post-show rendezvous.
Decadent cocktails, an impressive drinks
list and shareable Thai menu top it all off,
while the stage room is home to DJs and
dancing all night long.
Meet the artists, share your experiences
over snacks served into the wee hours and
look out for a surprise or two. Break bread
with fellow Festival-goers, raise glasses,
share your reviews and, if the mood takes
you, party on!
