The bar runs as an owner-operated neighborhood spot on regular nights, which shows in the details. It is a relaxed, sociable room with real character rather than a blank hall, and it gives hosts one well-equipped space to fill instead of a list of rentals to coordinate.
The Space
The main room centers on a long polished wooden bar backed by mirrored shelving and rows of bottles, with red barstools along the counter. Overhead, a sunburst ceiling motif sets the tone, and the walls move through teal, blue and warm reds. Tufted black leather booths and banquettes line the edges, and neon, mural-style wall art gives the lounge corners a bold, late-night look.
Tucked within the venue is a private bar room with its own counter, a one-way window and an interior door that locks from the inside. It works as a quiet retreat during a larger party, a green room for performers, or a spot for a small group that wants to step away from the main floor for a while.
Layout and Capacity
The full venue covers roughly 1,500 square feet and holds up to 120 guests. The room suits standing receptions and mingling, and it can also be set for seated dining around booths and tables. Customizable partitioning lets you divide the floor into distinct zones, so a dinner area, a karaoke corner and a lounge can run side by side during the same event.
Amenities and Equipment
- Performance stage used for live music, karaoke and comedy nights
- Karaoke system with wireless microphones, available for full-buyout events
- PA system and speakers, plus permission to play your own music or bring a DJ
- Projector and several large wall-mounted TVs for slideshows, sports or presentations
- A set of 100 headsets with five audio channels for multi-zone listening
- Darts, booths, soft seating, tables, chairs, tablecloths and place settings
- Wi-Fi throughout, a green room, multiple restrooms and a nursing room
- Buzz-in secure entry, with wristbands available for easy re-entry
Food and Drink
A full bar pours cocktails along with draught and bottled beer, and the fully staffed kitchen serves a casual American menu along with happy-hour style plates. Menu options include halal, kosher, vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free choices. Outside caterers are welcome too, and the commercial kitchen can support your chosen team. Past hosts have mixed catering trays with orders from the regular menu, and the venue team has staggered food service when guests arrived at different times.
Events It Suits
As an event venue for rent with its own stage, this bar handles both loud and low-key plans. It works well as a birthday party venue and as a relaxed corporate event venue for teams that would rather sing than sit through another banquet.
- Birthday parties, from milestone celebrations to a themed night with a slideshow
- Holiday parties with karaoke, a DJ or a live act on the stage
- Engagement parties and anniversary celebrations with a mix of mingling and seating
- Executive retreat evenings, with the private bar room for smaller side conversations
Guests often mention a friendly, accommodating staff and an owner who is easy to work with, including help setting up decorations that hosts bring in. If you want a private event DJ, you can book your own, and live music is allowed as well.
Planning Notes
This is a 21 and over venue, and smoking is not allowed indoors. The house asks every group to keep a respectful atmosphere and consider the comfort of others. Open flames and glitter are not permitted. Depending on your event, the venue may require hired security staff, so confirm this when you inquire. Ticketed events are allowed, and dogs are welcome under the house rules.
The entrance is at ground level with step-free access, and ADA restrooms are available. Street parking is plentiful nearby, and there is a parking lot directly in front of the building that the venue does not operate. Security cameras cover the entrance and main bar area, while the private bar room has none.
To plan your event, check open dates on Events in Minutes and send an inquiry with your guest count, timing and how you would like to use the stage and private room. The venue team will confirm the setup and catering details with you.
