Filming Location · 15 guests · November 2025
We had an amazing experience filming at Rodney's. The owner and staff were incredibly helpful in working with us during location scouts and for the shoot. The showroom had the perfect stand-up comedy stage we were looking for. The team’s support made the entire process smooth and enjoyable. Would 10/10 recommend for any events, shoot, etc!

FAQ

Yes, DJs can connect to the venue’s brand-new surround sound, but they must bring their controller and XLR cables.

The venue is equipped with a PA system and speakers, allowing music playback and announcements. Additionally, a DJ can connect to the soundboard with their controller if they want to play music.

Yes, it is in addition to the rental. Friday and Saturday nights are the busiest nights for bars; I don’t think you’ll find a space that’s only a bar minimum.

Yes, all the time needed has to be included in the rental fee.
