About 88mph
88mph is a late-night bar in the basement of 8-10 Hobart Place in Civic, themed around the music and look of the eighties. Expect neon lighting, a light-up dance floor and a playlist of songs everyone knows the words to. It opens to the public Wednesday to Saturday until 3am, with DJs on Friday and Saturday nights and pizza served late. Sunday to Tuesday the bar is kept for private hire only. Group options scale from a casual spot at the bar up to the whole venue. Function packages cover 10 to 220 people, so you can book a single area or close the bar to the public. Two private karaoke rooms run on an upgraded sound system. Room 1 takes up to 12 singers and Room 2 up to 20, each booked in 90-minute blocks. Groups of five or more can start with a private cocktail class, available Wednesday to Saturday. It includes a glass of prosecco, two demonstrated cocktails, a turn making drinks behind the bar and a cheese and charcuterie box. Birthdays, hens and bucks parties, and corporate or uni functions are all regulars here. The events team helps plan the night once you have a date and numbers.

Very welcoming staff. Great atmosphere and crowd. Had to leave the environment a couple of times to catch my breath as I found it very dusty irritating my asthma. Otherwise it was a great night out!
