Booked Cocktail Bar at Seamstress Restaurant & Bar

We had the basement bar hired out, it was fantastic! The space was great, the cocktails were amazing and the staff were very professional but laid back. You even get your own courtyard for smokers. I would highly recommend this place for anyone having an event.
