Stryx Play Gallery Cafe

We held a celebration party at Stryx after our previously booked venue let us down on the day. They were extremely welcoming, flexible and helpful allowing us to use the courtyard and gallery space last minute and helping us with decorations and room layout. The spaces were ideal for our guests and the facilities were good. It seems like a great community atmosphere in general and we would definitely recommend!

I am attending the yoga sessions with Mel every Thursdays, and I am extremely happy about this experience. Mel delivers her lessons in a way that is fitting each person's different level, offering options on the same stance and making you feel comfortable. Also, she brings sound healing into it, which is something I never experienced during a yoga session, such a big plus. Everything takes place in the peaceful and magical environment of the gallery, surrounded by the secret garden. A selection of fruit is offered at the end and then I usually treat myself with coffee and cakes served in the lovely café at the front of the gallery. A really special place to be!

An excellent venue for arts related social events for all ages. Dynamic ranging art exhibition program, live music. Also fantastic interactive creative playdays for parents and children. food good and the coffee is always a highlight

We organised an exhibition in the gallery in January 2025 and the team were super helpful, friendly, flexible and inviting. It's good quality for money exhibiting artwork here. It's a lovely community space and visitors felt welcomed. I have been recommending the space and the various activities to lots of people.

Have been coming for yoga and art sessions "calm and creative" it was a life saver! These sessions helped me to stay calm and introduce more balance in life. Mel is an amazing yoga teacher and none of her classes are the same she ads sound and breath work which I think is brilliant! Art sessions are a cherry on a top:) Stryx cafe is a beautiful cosy and safe space to hang out, love it!

Stryx Café on Vyse Street is one of those places you stumble upon and instantly want to tell your friends about. Tucked away in the Jewellery Quarter, it offers more than just a decent coffee (though the coffee is very good!). The menu has a lovely variety of hot drinks and snacks—perfect for a catch-up, a creative session, or just a quiet moment to yourself. What really sets Stryx apart is its vibe. The space doubles as an art gallery, so there’s always something interesting to look at, and they regularly host creative events that make you feel part of a community. The atmosphere is fun, laid-back, and full of personality—no pretence, just people being genuinely welcoming. The staff are lovely—always smiling, happy to help, and clearly passionate about the place. If the sun’s out, the courtyard is a real treat: peaceful, pretty, and full of charm. Whether you’re an artist, a coffee lover, or just someone looking for a warm and welcoming space, Stryx Café is definitely worth a visit.

Stryx Cafe is a peaceful and relaxing space, where you can be yourself and connect with likeminded people. The yoga and art sessions that they run have provided me with an opportunity to explore something new in a safe and supportive environment and build lasting friendships. I always feel welcome here.
