About the Space

Pop-ups, launch parties, dreamy dinners, celebrations, photoshoots, corporate/team meetings, art shows, birthday parties, small weddings and more all work well on our secret outdoor patio in Andersonville. Enter through the shop entrance on Clark, duck behind the employees only curtain, and head through the back door to emerge onto the sweetest little secret patio on the north side. Located in the heart of Andersonville amidst all the fantastic shops, restaurants and bars, but tucked away from the bustle of the main street. Like stepping through the closet and into Narnia, in a fun, urban city way. The space is long and narrow with white hand-painted "rugs" on the concrete floor, a lush wall of green ivy in the warmer months, glowing string lights up above, a slat wood fence for privacy, three custom built picnic tables with room for six each, a bench for three, and trash cans. There is a private bathroom inside the shop for guests to use. If you need additional outdoor seating, tables, a cooler, or electricity, we are happy to work with you for an additional fee. If you're booking the space after the shop is closed, there is an additional $35/hour. Due to insurance requirements, all time on the patio needs to be agreed to under contract. We suggest adding an extra 30 minutes for setup and tear down. Any physical time must be under contract for insurance purposes. If you intent to serve alcohol of any kind, you must have additional event insurance (rates start at $150). We can arrange it for you if you'd like. We look forward to hosting you!

5.0 (15)

What's up, I'm Holly! My work is rooted in observation, not imitation. I like to tell stories, ya know. My work moves past trends and curated aesthetics to capture something more honest: the subtle, unspoken essence of a person, a brand story, or moment. I pride myself in intentional stillness, creating a sense that nothing is forced and everything is felt, and through my work you can see your story unfold.Read more
