The space was perfect for a private party! Food was amazing and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful!
Only thing is the lack of accessibility for wheelchairs to the upper floors.

The Copper bar is gorgeous and was beautifully decorated with a seasonal Christmas tree and lights. The staff on the bar were super helpful and accommodating and the bar benefits from the music from the DJ in the main bar. There's also very easy access to the toilets
