Parties & celebrations

Bring the people. We will handle the food, the beer and the cleanup.

At the Warehouse, settle into the Lounge's oversized couches, gather around High Top Dining, or take the Patio for drinks over the Strip District while the bistro lights come on; the First Floor's bocce court, shuffleboard and foosball keep everyone busy. In Lawrenceville, Long Story Short's Back Room has a custom pool table and a vintage dart board, and the whole bar holds 80 with pinball on the mezzanine. North of the city, the Wexford Taproom can be yours for the evening, fire pit and all. Add your own playlist and enjoy a Cinderlands beer.
