I came here for a friend's 30th and it was a fantastic night. The venue itself is just oozing with beauty and elegance, especially the period furniture and the stunning artistic glass chandeliers. It's the perfect environment for getting dressed up and enjoying a few cocktails, and there was a pretty decent selection of beverages too. A classier than crowd although, as with anywhere in the Valley, it started to get a bit rowdy around midnight and the area at the front (which was sectioned off for our private function) started to get random people coming and going who hadn't noticed the sign that indicated we were a group. But in part that's to do with the set up - it isn't very obvious that it's a separate area. If you particularly want a private function then I would ask about the upstairs bar. Otherwise it's still a great venue for a night out.

Stunning decor is the first thing that you appreciate at Laruche. Luxurious furniture and decadent lights. The bar staff are very well trained. I love watching them mix up cocktails from the extensive list. A second bar is location upstairs, with more lounge space. A lovely night out with a sophisticated crowd.
