The staff was incredible lets shout out To bartender Lauren for being a super fabulous gem! The venue was truly Perfect for my disco themed 40th Birthday party. I wanted an Intimate space and affordable free flowing champagn for my guests. It was so easy to decorate and had a gorgeous bathroom! Love every second of it. Will have my friends host their parties there from now on 🤣
