30th Birthday Party · 130 guests
If you are looking for a venue to celebrate a special occasion, this is the venue you need! I celebrated my 30th birthday at the 1 Bar and everything exceeded my expectations. Not only is the bar aesthetically pleasing, but the staff there are lovely and go over and beyond to meet your expectations. I was quite particular with what I wanted for my birthday celebration and Alicia ensured everything was in place to meet my vision, and this was delivered. I am still getting questions about the venue till date for those looking to celebrate. I was able to bring my own decoration and food and Alicia and Dimi made this such an easy process for me, considering this was an issue with other venues. Not only are the staff here very friendly, but they do everything to make sure your birthday party is a successful one. Big thank you to Alicia and Dimi for their professional expertise in event planning which contributed to a successful 30th birthday party, would highly recommend!
