Niche bar was a great spot for us to use as a venue for our get-together! We appreciated that the venue hire fee was the minimum spend on food, instead of an additional fee, and the amount was reasonable. We had plenty of space for our group between the patio and indoor space and the bar was conveniently close to our tables. The food came out on time as we requested and the staff was accommodating for our needs (i.e. surprise cake). We liked that it felt like a private venue for most of the night since it was not jam-packed at any point. Thank you for accommodating us and allowing us to host at your bar!
