Rad Tiki Bar with Nautical and Tropical Decor
Bar itself is quite honestly, awesome. It is fully adorned with the coolest décor and ambiance, all cleverly arranged around a bar stand and pub seats. While enjoying the tiki bar, guests are surrounded by nostalgic adornments and surprises from another era. Where else, can you sip your Mai Tai...

Intimate Studio Space In The Heart of North Park
really straight forward. Clean up was seamless with the dumpsters so close. Would love to rent again! Only thing is the music at the bar next door is loud until 10pm. You couldn’t hear it with the music we had so it was no problem but if you don...

Cozy Eclectic Wine Bar with a Beautiful Patio in the Marina District.

set up classroom style, there were ample outlets for everyone to use their computers, and everything was super clean.
