PATIO RESERVATIONS

EVENTS
While we’re not hosting private events at the moment, we would still love to hear from you about a future event you might be planning. In normal times, our patio is available for parties. It seats 32; more for a standing affair. We can work with you on a special menu and playlist for your party—birthdays, holidays, book releases, record releases, rehearsal dinners, small weddings, anniversaries, whatever. It’s also possible to do a full-venue buyout for your event. We’d be happy to discuss details and put a hold on a date. Give us a shout at [email protected].
FEEDBACK
If there’s something you like or don’t like, or something you wish we had, give us a shout at [email protected]. We’re all about communication. We live in the neighborhood and love our community and want everyone to be happy, or at least to pursue happiness.
