The Academy is an incredible space and Nate and his hosted a group of about 80 of us for drinks on a Sunday afternoon. The entire set up was organized very quickly on short notice - thanks! Peopel especially loved the downstairs speakeasy which has several rooms and a really nice bar. We will come back again. Thanks for hosting us!
Executive Assistant
Amazing meeting venue! On site service was fabulous. After our team meeting we went downstairs to the speakeasy for a cocktail demo and drinks/chat. My team loved it! Would be awesome for a happy hour or corp/theme party. So beautiful, I want to live there. =)
Head of Corporate Events
This place is absolutely amazing, the staff and host Nate made our event the absolute best. I am astounded by how lovely and so wonderfully enjoyable the space and place was. I highly recommend booking an event here, and hope we can work together in the future.

This space is wonderful. Decor is cool/trendy but not intimidating. We had our office party here and it was totally perfect. All of the staff was so helpful and accomodating. Would book this again 100 percent.
