Speakeasy Experience
The Speakeasy at Capo was a phenomenal space for an event. We held a cocktail hour for about 100 people the night before our wedding here (instead of a traditional rehearsal dinner). The space is beautiful, so very little work was required on our end to set up. Our guests...

Dave & the whole Smitty's crew were amazing.

Beautiful Art Gallery - Blocks from the Liberty Bell
This is a great location for a cocktail party, reception, or (as in my case) birthday party. As long as you're not interested in throwing a raging party, this place could do nicely. They also let me choose which art would be hanging up which was a great touch...
