We clean and disinfect our space every morning and only allow one rental guest into our space per day. For an additional cost we can also provide an extra disinfecting session by a Certified Janitorial Service Provider just prior to our rental guest's arrival. The City of San Francisco requires all staff and guests to wear masks within indoor space and to maintain at least 6-feet of distance between individuals. Our on site staff person will monitor guests to assist them in complying with these mandates. Upon arrival at our venue guests will be asked to have their temperature taken via an infrared forehead thermometer and either accept a hand sanitizer application or immediately go to our restrooms to wash their hands with soap and water.

Fantastic experience. Our host, Chet, was incredibly kind and helped so much with the set-up and clean-up of our staff dinner. He made us feel welcome. A great space for an informal dinner and having the AV setup was an awesome added touch, as well.

Yes, I would book again.

Catherine was very helpful with the process of preparing our event for our son's 21st birthday party. She answered all my questions in a timely manner. This was my first time to book an event and Catherine made it less stressful for me with giving me all the information I needed to know about the space. Jibril was very helpful in showing me the space area and he answered all my questions I needed to know. Chet was the person helped us on the day of the event. I appreciate his hard work and time on that day. Everything was set before we got there, sanitized and clean. He also made it possible for us to extend the hours on that day. Overall I am very pleased not only with the space area but most of all with the service that was given. Thank you to these wonderful people that made our son's day very special. I believe they should get a raise.
