Alcove

Alcove is a slang term that refers to a designated or private space within a public area. It can be a nook or a secluded corner where individuals can gather or have a more intimate conversation away from the main crowd. Alcoves are often seen in bars, clubs, or lounges, providing a semi-private area for socializing or escaping the noise of the venue.

Example 1: “Let’s go find an alcove in the bar, so we can have a quieter conversation away from the loud music.”

Example 2: “I love how this café has little alcoves tucked away, perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee and reading a book in peace.”
