Green Lung Studio - Studio A
the moment we walked in, we knew it was the right choice. We were able to completely transform the space into a lush, immersive cocktail garden, and every detail truly popped thanks to the venue’s clean aesthetic and elegant charm. On top of that, the team was incredibly accommodating...

Avant-Garde Duplex in Heart of Tribeca
perfect vibe for a 25 person dinner party I hosted. The bar and lounge area in the back warmly welcomed our guests for the cocktail hour, the downstairs kitchen allowed for the chef to whip up a delicious 5 course meal, and the host William couldn't have been more...

Industrial Brooklyn kitchen studio loft great for cooking classes, events, private dinners, video shoots in renovated warehouse with amazing natural light, old wood beams, exposed brick, high ceilings, full chef's kitchen, vintage gas stove
space is fantastic for hosting a big dinner party. It feels way bigger than it looks, and there’s plenty of space for a cocktail hour, 15+ person table, and prep counter. My guests felt like they were walking out of the city and into this romantic warmly lit universe...

Cocktail Bar in Landmarked Building | The Gam Private Room
had our engagement party here at Quick Eternity in September 2025 and it was everything we wanted it to be! The food and specialty cocktails were great and reasonably priced. The space was a perfect size for roughly 40 people, very clean, and had great vibes in both the private...

Video Production and Photography in Industrial Red Hook, Brooklyn
the space was perfect and even on the coldest day of the year... it was toasty and warm. This space is perfect for a cocktail hour and dance party. Not to mention a host of other types of events. Thanks again Amanda, we will spread the word...
Sarah H.
Avant-Garde Duplex in Heart of Tribeca
This well-located, sophisticated furniture showroom definitely has the wow factor. We loved hosting a cocktail for about 80 people here. Usefully, there is a built-in bar at the back, and the stunning table seen in the main image made for an eye-catching presentation for our food. Our...

Cookhouse Brooklyn, Kitchen Set
Awesome space for a cocktail shoot I worked on. Adam is super friendly and accommodating, so he was a pleasure to work with and was always just a text or call away. The kitchen and living area gave us everything we needed to execute our plan, just be aware that...
Daniel O.
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...
Taara R.

Welcoming, Convenient Carroll Gardens Bar
birthday party. Already had some seasonal decor up. Owner was responsive. The bar didn't offer much in the way of non-alcoholic cocktails (I just drank water and juice all night), but I guess this just isn't that type of place. Also, I had to personally bounce some...
Winta S.
Stunning 5,000 sq. ft. Converted Firehouse with Full Kitchen, Ideal for Parties & Events
and so versatile for a number of events. I booked the space for my engagement party and it was large enough to accommodate a cocktail hour downstairs and dinner upstairs for a little over 40 guests. Lindsay had a hiccup with her assistant being sick for the day but she...
Clarissa V.
Neighborhood Bar with Heated Enclosed Patio
my wife and I had this weekend. Dave and Kalaeb were exceptional with accommodating to our needs (as we were planning our little cocktail-style reception in a bit of a hurry). They even got the fire pit going! Fair pricing, excellent service, and a really intimate location. Thank you...
