This venue was SO perfect for our wedding after party. I had no idea this trendy bar on Bowery had such an intimate private bar downstairs, we had our own bar and bartender with co...
zy booths, standing room, and private bathrooms separate from the rest of the bar. We guessed that 30-50 people would come to the after party and we ended up with a little over 40, which was full but didn’t feel overcrowded. The room is really cozy, candle lit with hanging lanterns felt romantic. The bartender was amazing, I felt like we never had to wait for drinks and he was so accommodating and kind! It was also so nice to have our own space not shared with the public, nobody had to to worry about where they kept their belongings as it was only our group in the space.
They created signature cocktails specifically for us and helped us come up with names for, and we were able to arrange for appetizers so our guests could snack at the after party also. They also gave us the option to play our own Spotify playlist if we wanted, which was really great because my husband is a bit of an audiophile and enjoyed the opportunity to curate the vibe.
For booking we worked with Elizabeth who coordinated the event, she was so helpful and responsive in setting up everything. Initially we planned on ordering less food but she recommended more based on the other events that she had run and I’m so glad we trusted her because we would have run out of snacks so quickly if we hadn’t listened!
So glad we had our after party here, highly recommend!

Elizabeth, the events manager, made the process so smooth. She was very knowledgeable and friendly; willing to work with us to make it our day and not "just another event."
