Description
The 2,000-square-foot space divides into configurations that support different gathering sizes, from a 50-person backroom celebration to a 200-person daytime networking event. For private gatherings, the venue allows hosts to bring their own cake and decorations to customize their section. The backroom setup is particularly suited for groups of 40 to 60, offering a dedicated bar, space to dance, and seating. Group hosts can choose between setting up separate tabs or opting for an affordable open bar package.
