Birthday Party · 20 guests · February 2026
The space was great. Drinks were tasty, strong, and brought out quickly. The staff were super accommodating, and the variety in the party packages was great. Thank you Aaron and Karen for hosting us, I'm hoping to visit again soon.
The space of back of the bar area was a bit awkward, especially with the foot traffic of other party that was hosted in the next door room. For my party it was okay, but if there is a party that is sitting and dining it might be a bit uncomfortable and they would probably benefit from scheduling in a different area. However, I loved the back bar area and the set up with the dart board/near the back space--would host a party here again!
