Our communal tables can be rented for 10 or 20 people, while our "Back Half" allows you to section off a space of the hall just for you and your group of up to 100 guests. Looking for something intimate and cozy, our VIP Tap Room (located upstairs) hosts up to 30 guests in a lounge like setting, complete with a TV, private bar and bartender, overlooking the action of Houston Hall but from a secluded nook.
We're known for our MEGA Drinks like our Giant Espresso Martini, Aperol Spritz Tower and Espresso Martini Tower, offering a lively element to your celebration. Houston Hall boasts a variety of bar games like Corn Hole, Giant Jenga and Beer Pong if fun is what you're in the mood for to kick off your wedding weekend right! Plus a DJ is spinning top hits and throwbacks most nights of the week.
Our chef can curate an elegant dinner or brunch menu (think prime rib and mashed potatoes or brioche french toast and smoked salmon on NYC's famous bagels), or you can have fun dipping into our bar bites like Wings, Empanadas, Sliders, homemade pizzas and more.

We had our wedding welcome party at Houston Hall on 12/30 and truly couldn’t have asked for a better experience! From start to finish, the staff was incredibly helpful, responsive,...
and accommodating.
Our event wasn’t fully private, but we had a dedicated section toward the back with our own servers, which made it feel intimate and well-organized. We opted not to do a prix fixe menu and instead chose a minimum spend which worked out perfectly. Since our event overlapped with happy hour, they were flexible and allowed us to limit the menu to happy hour drinks.
We preordered several platters of food, and everything was delicious. The drinks and food were exactly what we envisioned for a fun, festive welcome party and our guests kept complimenting both all night.
Houston Hall was incredibly easy to work with throughout the planning process. They helped us with setup and even offered decor that was included, which made everything seamless and stress-free.
Overall, it was the perfect venue to kick off our New York moment NYE wedding.
