the pictures show with added string lights and decorations. Kaleab and Andrew worked with me for a surprise 30th birthday to design a custom cocktail, set up decorating times, and even adjusted the cost to better fit my budget. I will absolutely be returning to Smitty's for casual bar...

sometimes a bit slow, but once contact was made everything went smoothly. A few concerns: I didn’t have access to the chairs and cocktail tables that were pictured and included in my request. I was informed they would be available, but unfortunately, they were not, which impacted my setup...

Dave & the whole Smitty's crew were amazing. They invited us to come scope out the location beforehand, make custom cocktails and menus, and were incredibly accommodating and creative with how they helped us come up with ideas for our party guests. Great location, super clean, cute & the perfect size...

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...
