Yes, I would book again.

We had a late holiday party at Public Works a couple Saturdays ago. Initially we had booked the Saturday of MLK weekend, but realized that many of our employees would be away for the weekend and unable to attend, so Marina of Public Works worked with us to find another date so we wouldn't lose our 50%. Marina was a delight to plan with the whole way through. She was quick to respond, happy to give us a tour, and just pleasant & friendly all around. The space was perfect for our tech/healthcare group. It was spacious and fun (with colorful strobe lights and it's rustic decor), but not too over the top with gaudy decorations. We were able to project a slideshow of our wonderful employees at varying events on the wall, which was a huge hit. We also brought in our own DJ and catering vendor, who coordinated with Marina in regards to COI and equipment needs. All in all, we loved the venue location, we loved the venue, we appreciate the wonderful staff, and we'll likely host another event here in the future!

This is a great venue. The space was perfect for our casino themed event of ~200 people. The venue is spacious and had comfortable room for all of our casino games and guests. The layout was perfect for all to focus on the stage during our speech. Marina, the manager, was awesome to work with, constantly connecting me with great vendors and suggesting creative ideas to make the event an even greater success. I plan to reach out again for more events in the future!
