Downtown (Eastside) multi-use event space with 5,000sqft courtyard and stage
This was an amazing space for our 20’s Speakeasy party. We had 30 guests and used the bar for champagne and cocktails . Plenty of seating, great AV, and good outdoor gathering areas for people to spread out or hang out by the fire pit. Flann was accommodating and friendly...

Luxury Content Space + Events | Châteaux Noire
Roc Nation themed brunch. The backyard was such a big hit! The host was very nice but unfortunately didn’t know where the extra cocktail linens were placed and we had to make due without them. It was okay but I would’ve brought my own in this case. Overall...

Industrial Flex space with Natural lighting
II are Beautiful spaces. Both available rooms are blank slates that are very versatile. We started our evening in the smaller space as a cocktail party with live music and a grazing table for guest as they arrived. Then we transitioned to the larger space for dinner and the birthday...

Contemporary Art Gallery
it was awesome! We had a few tables set-up for our 3 self-serve bar and walking appetizers tables in addition to 5 cocktail style tables. The contemporary gallery including the art featured at the time of our party fit our "casual cocktail attire" theme perfectly. Jill was nothing...

so glad we did — the decor was stunning and executed so well. The space has a very elegant, upscale vibe that is perfect for cocktail-style events and truly allows you to create a “grown and sexy” atmosphere. It was the perfect setting for my husband’s surprise 40th birthday...

Beautiful Art Gallery - Blocks from the Liberty Bell
This is a great location for a cocktail party, reception, or (as in my case) birthday party. As long as you're not interested in throwing a raging party, this place could do nicely. They also let me choose which art would be hanging up which was a great touch...

Unique rock n' roll photography gallery
all of our guests loved it! We had Torchy’s cater, bar set up with wine and beer (bartender Steve helped provide), and some cocktail tables for guests to mingle. It was such a perfect night, we were able to open up the mini garage door and have guests mingle...

venue was brand new, clean, and spacious for the 50 adults that attended. We didn’t think dancing would be a part of the cocktail party but we ended up doing some at the end. Thanks again we will be booking in the future...

my wife and I had this weekend. Dave and Kalaeb were exceptional with accommodating to our needs (as we were planning our little cocktail-style reception in a bit of a hurry). They even got the fire pit going! Fair pricing, excellent service, and a really intimate location. Thank you...

My husband and I rented this space for our casual/intimate cocktail wedding reception with 60 guests last week and it was perfect! Andrew went above and beyond to ensure our reception went as planned. He was very communicative (via phone/text/email) and was very accommodating/flexible. He suggested reliable local vendors and...
