Holiday Party · 55 guests · December 2025 · C+M Rooms Combined

Very good communication and coordination ahead of the event with Megan! During the event there were dedicated servers who went above and beyond for the event. They even walked around handing out sparkling wine to newly arriving guests, they also walked around with bottles of wine topping people off and keeping the venue tidy and clean the whole time. The food was more than I expected and of very high quality. They also offered a good number of options for people who are vegetarian. The wine was definitely a highlight and the little mini beers were really a fun addition. We were doing a company holiday party and everyone felt like it was a special night and the venue not only was charming, but the staff made us feel really special.

Really did a great job and really impressed everyone!

Graduation Party · 20 guests · May 2024 · The Mural Room

Meagan was amazing and helpful with all of my questions with getting the space for a graduation celebration. The food was tasty. The space felt private enough. The staff cut a cake beautifully for us and did their best to accommodate my request.

The place was disorganized at times. We would have to remind to remove plates and if I needed something I would have to find the manager and request it for the table. They were really busy so I was understanding but felt like with the money we were spending I expected a little more service. Overall the event went great and I am thankful for the experience.

About The Ten Bells

The Ten Bells is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

The Ten Bells has quietly existed within the hustle and bustle of New York City's LES since 2008. Our cozy, dimly-lit den offers an unpretentious atmosphere, perfect for an intimate gathering or a spontaneous after-work drink.

We strive to introduce you to the world of natural wines, wines produced from organic or biodynamic grapes with very little intervention from the winemaker. Our wine list brings you an unusual selection from small producers.

Our food, largely tapas style, is carefully crafted by our chef to complement the wines, but not overshadow them.

We can host a party in one of our private rooms, our friendly staff is here to make you feel at home. Wine is our passion and we are happy to share it with you at The Ten Bells.
