Bar · 60 guests · January 2026 · Main Dining Room

We had the speakeasy Bootleg room downstairs. Definitely enjoyed our privacy. Bar staff were very friendly and accommodating. Drinks were nice and strong !Food was great! My personal favorites were guacamole and chicken. Communication with management was easy. Eddie was very helpful in trying to accommodate our needs. The party went without a hitch.

There were some minor technical difficulties at the beginning but it did not affect our party. We understand there was a pop up event taking place at the same time, and there were a lot of guests at the bar upstairs, I still wish women's bathroom was kept a little bit more tidy.

40th Birthday Party · 30 guests · September 2025 · Bootleg

The staff was very friendly, and assisted in every inquiry I had. The venue was spacious, well lit, intimate. The music volume never felt drowned out. My event with off without a hitch. Gino, our DJ, was amazing. Sorry that I do not remember our karaoke and bartender's name, but they were great as well! Eddie and everyone lived up to the hype.

A little more communication on schedule of the food. Other than that, I have no complaints whatsoever.

    'The venue was so cool and was the perfect place for my birthday party. I loved the downstairs speakeasy room with lights, tvs, place to plug in music, and overall vibe. There was a great mix of tables and standing room for my guests. The manager and bartender were both very inviting and accommodating. The DJ who came at 10pm was also great! It felt like private club down there which was awesome.'
