Sunil P. booked a birthday party for 45 people

Yes, I would book again.

Cool vibe of a speakeasy and great staffing & management. Felt well taken care of. It is a low ceiling if you have a lot of tall people. I recommend getting the adjoing patio as well - most people migrated out there as the evening progressed.

Sandy T. booked a birthday party for 40 people

No, I would not book again.

My birthday party ended with me crying after leaving the event because of how poorly my best friend was treated by the owner, Nate. I was so upset by it, I cried twice that night and am still bothered by it. In the beginning, Nate was highly responsive as the other reviewers mention. Up until payment was received and 2 days before the party is when things quickly went downhill. I have a problem with being quoted an amount and then being charged higher than what was quoted. Nate gave me the same quote for the alcohol add-on three separate times, but in the end, I was charged more than what I was quoted. It was foolish of me to have quickly paid off the balance and not realize this until it was too late. He gave me another quote he claimed was all-inclusive for additional rental time, but I didn't find out until after the invoice that he added on a bunch of additional fees and expenses. Even though he removed some of the additional fees, I was still paying more for what I was quoted yet again when that is not what I agreed to. I had paid for the "elevated bar package" during dinner, but after we both agreed on downgrading, I have yet to hear about the refund for this amount. Nate blatantly ignored my follow up about this and I doubt I will ever see this refund. It would be something else if the bartender actually served us the "elevated bar package" during this time, but he absolutely did not. So I paid for a service I did not receive and the owner won't give me a refund for it. When Nate first toured the space with me, he mentioned being able to use the storage room to keep coats and things. Throughout the night, my guests told me how rude the staff were in telling them to stay out of the room and there was a theme of people saying how snooty and uppity everyone was to them. We are understanding people about not being allowed in certain areas, but it is rude to yell at people that they can't be here or there, instead of politely informing people about the imaginary red tape they can't cross. The icing to my birthday cake was when he forcefully grabbed a drink from my best friend's hand at the end of the night, went up to her face, and repeatedly kept telling her she had to leave when she was trying to help me carry things out. 5 of us along with the other staff witnessed how rude Nate was. I honestly couldn't believe it. It doesn't help the situation when other people had drinks as well, but he had to target the one black woman in the room. When there is a group of people trying to pack up and leave together, it doesn't look great when you are kicking out the one black woman alone. I was enraged by this. At least one of the other staff came back out and apologized, but it doesn't remedy the situation by far. I understand there are rules and I know all of my guests obliged, however, there is a difference between enforcing rules and common decency with respect. Nate was not great about hiding his bad attitude throughout the night and had the audacity to tell us he didn't have to defend his actions. He single-handedly ruined my birthday party.

Yes, I would book again.

This was a really fun and unique party venue. Hosted my 40th here. The staff was nice and helpful, and my guests loved the spot! Afterwards, had a lot of friends asking about where I found the venue...so I would recommend checking it out for your next private party.
