This place is really something special. I’ve hosted 2 birthdays and multiple other events here and it’s always been a good time. Plus, the pictures look sooo good, so many great photo opportunities!! Rany is very friendly and accommodating. The covered back patio and outdoor tiki bar are such a vibe! The lights are so fun to play around with and are great pictures/videos. And the sound system is bangin! I’d recommend bringing/hiring a DJ! Will come back
- booked a birthday party
I was looking to book a party space 1 day before celebration. I reached out to Rany and received response within 5 minutes. Booking was simple and the place was fantastic, party lights and stereo system were great. The place also has a patio which would be very interesting to explore in summer. Would recommend to anybody looking to have a great time.

- booked a birthday party
My daughter had her 16th birthday party here and they all enjoyed themselves. A week has passed and they still talk about it. I would recommend this place in a heartbeat!
- booked a birthday party
Rany was such an accommodating host by always being available to answer questions and to help setup on the day of the event. The bar prices are very reasonable and the bartender is so sweet. The space is perfect for any type of party and if you bring your own DJ decks the setup is really simple. The sound system sounded great throughout the whole venue! The back patio has a roof overtop which came in handy during the rain! I would rent this space again and recommend this spot if you want a fun space with a gracious host!
