Thank you for viewing our listing! Please be sure to read our FAQ, which will answer most common questions, before reaching out with an inquiry or booking request. **PLEASE NOTE** The artwork and decor changes periodically, so there may be slight differences in the actual space vs. what you see in the photographs. The artwork, furniture, and decor cannot be moved except by explicit permission from management and may involve additional cost. This booking requires a 2-hour minimum. No exceptions. ______________ This newly-renovated top floor lounge is located within a private social club. Available for receptions, mixers, fundraisers, corporate retreats, wine tastings, photo shoots, and more, this space is perfect for an event that requires inviting elegance and a vintage, luxurious ambience. Three distinct rooms (tasting room bar; game room; club room-lounge) are connected by a hallway with glittering crystal and brass cage pendants, complete with trim details on the walls, distinct local artwork, traditional herringbone flooring, and crown moulding throughout. ______________ PRODUCTION FAQ Q:  Is there parking included, or a garage nearby?​ A: There are no included parking spots with the venue, and unfortunately, The Castro does not have a parking garage. We are located right on Market Street, and there is generally street parking available within 1-2 block radius. Q: Will there be a person on-site to let us in? A: Yes. Hourly rental includes a minimum of (1) staff member scheduled to be on-site for the duration of your shoot. Please be aware the staff person may not arrive until shortly before load-in, so do not panic if you arrive early and the building is closed! Q: How do vendors or personnel load-in to the venue? Is there a loading dock or designated area?​ A: There is no loading dock, elevator, or designated loading zone. Street parking is available or you may temporarily double park on Market Street for quick drop-offs. The outdoor space is below street level (down a few steps and through the building). The top floor lounge is up ~20 steps at the front of the building. Q: Can we arrive early? A: All load-in, set-up, tear-down time must be part of the hourly rentals. In other words, your rental begins at the time you enter the building. Please plan accordingly and book all the time you will need. Overtime is charged at 1.5x the hourly rate. Q: Is there WiFi? A: Yes, we have a 1GB guest network; see info provided when booking. Q: Can we tour the space before the shoot, or before making a decision on booking? A: Yes, of course. Just ask the host, who can provide a calendar link to schedule a site visit. ​ Q: What about music? A: Feel free to bring a portable speaker to play music at a reasonable volume.
