About this space

The Library is a lounge in The Raines Law Room at The William, a private speakeasy-style parlor distinguished by its Victorian decorative detail.

Features: The space includes in-house cocktail service and can be arranged for private dining or standing receptions. The room provides Wi-Fi, air conditioning, some natural light and wheelchair access. Event staffing, plated catering and a staffed service bar are provided by the venue.

Ideal for: Small groups seeking a relaxed, social cocktail reception or an intimate, seated private dining experience.

What sets it apart: The room has a built-in PA system and allows hosts to bring their own DJ and play their own music.
