30th Birthday Party · 80 guests · September 2025
I had a great experience renting out the back part of the bar for my 30th birthday party. It easily accommodated my ~55 guests. The staff was very friendly & helpful. I reserved the room for 3 hours but they let us stay the whole night at no additional charge because no one had booked it after me. Very reasonable price for the size of the place and convenient & cool location! Would def recommend

Party · 50 guests · August 2025
The space is super great. Holds alot of of people while still feeling intimate. It had room for dancing and sitting, which I think is a hard balance to strike. They were also super communicative and helpful. I truly enjoyed everything about my experience here!
Nothing! Would recommend this place!

FAQ

Yes, clients may bring their own DJ; the venue will need to coordinate with the DJ regarding a gear check.

Table, couch and section reservations are available at no cost in the front bar room. The space has plenty of seating for large groups, although it is not a private room and is located next to the bar.

Bar minimums and back-room lounge private-booking rates are flexible depending on the day of the week, group size, event duration and time of day. Off nights and early daytime events offer greater flexibility.
