Spaces & packages

Ways to take over the room

Up to 99 guests

Full Lounge Buyout

The whole speakeasy, unmarked door and all: dedicated bartenders, custom menu, house DJ or your own playlist. Layouts are tailored to your headcount — seated dinners, standing receptions, or a mix of both.

Guests build three seasonal cocktails with our bartenders — shaking, stirring, house syrups and garnish work, recipe cards to take home.

6 – 24 guests · 60 – 120 minutes
