Climb the stairs at Raffy’s on 36th and step into The Elbow Room, our private bar lounge with serious retro character. Deep Blue, wood-paneled walls and soft lamplight set the mood. A sink-in tufted sectional and leather armchairs anchor the lounge. A pool table, kitschy vintage signs, and a crystal arc lamp casting a pink glow keep things fun. The front room has its own bar with classic swivel stools, so drinks are always within reach. Food is ordered from Raffy’s downstairs, which means wood-fired pizza and more without a caterer. The space comfortably fits 40–50 guests. It’s moody without being stuffy and curated without being fussy, made for birthdays, holiday parties, rehearsal dinners, team outings, and any night worth celebrating in Hampden.
