I booked an area of the venue for my 30th birthday for around 40 guests. The space was brilliant, shared with others. Good atmosphere, vibe & decor. Really pleased with the venue & would go again!
Something to indicate which food was veggie / vegan vs meat would have been helpful, e.g. little flags in the food or similar.

Birthday Party · 40 guests · February 2024
I recently celebrated my birthday at Ninth Ward, and I couldn't have asked for a more memorable experience. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality that set the tone for the entire evening. The staff at ninth ward went above and beyond to ensure that our celebration was nothing short of perfect. They were not only accommodating but also genuinely invested in making sure every detail exceeded our expectations. It's rare to encounter such exceptional service, and it made our celebration feel even more special. Overall, my experience at Ninth Ward exceeded all expectations. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion or simply enjoy an unforgettable experience. Thank you to the entire team for making my birthday celebration one to remember!
