Super nice and accommodating even though I kept changing things, everything went really smoothly day-of and the staff were very helpful! Taking requests, moving furniture, and not nickel-and-diming me for my requests. Will probably have another event with them!

About Raines Law Room Chelsea
The Raines law was passed on March 23, 1896, by the new york state Legislature. It was nominally a Liquor tax, but its intention was to curb the consumption of alcohol by imposing Regulations.
Among other provisions, it prohibited the sale of alcoholic beverages on Sunday except in hotels. Most men worked a six-day week, and Sunday was the only full day for drinking at saloons. Under the law, however, hotels were allowed to serve liquor on Sunday, to guests only, provided it was during a meal, or in the bedrooms of the hotel. State statutes allowed that any business was considered a hotel if it had 10 rooms for lodging and served food with its liquor. Saloons quickly found a loophole by adding small furnished bedrooms and applying for a hotel license. Dozens of “RAINES LAW HOTELS,” often located directly above saloons, opened.
