Your own private bartender

Add a private bartender and let us handle the pour. Beer, wine, and signature cocktails served straight from the upstairs bar — no one trekking downstairs, no cash-bar headache. Tell us the vibe when you book and we'll build a drink package to match, from a simple beer-and-wine setup to a full cocktail menu for the night.

Birthday dinners, team nights, student clubs, family reunions, community meetups — this room has hosted all kinds, and everyone is welcome here. Round tables make it social by default, and the whole layout rearranges in minutes to fit your group.

Kind Words

Don't just take our word for it

Real reviews from people who've eaten, gathered, and celebrated with us.

★★★★★
"We threw my sister's baby shower upstairs and it was the easiest event I've ever planned. We brought our own decorations, they set the room up and handled the cleanup, and the Korean spread was what everyone kept talking about."
— Marcus T., Baby Shower
★★★★★
"Our team's holiday party basically ran itself. The projector made the slideshow easy, the private bartender kept things moving, and nobody had to leave for food — it's all right downstairs. The flat hourly price meant no surprises on the invoice."
— Priya N., Corporate Event
★★★★★
"I rented the room for a milestone birthday and loved that I could make it my own. The balcony with the skyline, the ping pong, the catering from the kitchen — my guests thought I'd spent a fortune. I hadn't."
— Danielle R., 40th Birthday

We confirm availability and details by your preferred contact method, usually within a day.

Questions

Common questions

Can we bring our own food and drinks?

Yes, private hourly rentals can bring outside food and non-alcoholic drinks. Alcohol works differently: ask us about bar service when you book and we'll walk you through the options.

How many people fit?

Up to 128 guests. Seated banquet-style comfortably holds fewer; tell us your headcount and format and we'll recommend a layout.

Is the deposit refundable?

No. Holding your date means we turn away other bookings for it. The deposit does apply toward your total.

What about parking?

Free spots on site, overflow across the way, and ample parking at the nearby park and underpass by the baseball field. Plus we're a short walk from the Rensselaer Amtrak station for out-of-town guests.

Do you provide catering?

Yes, and it's the best part of booking a restaurant's event space. Korean-American crowd-pleasers, from sandwich platters to full spreads. Mention catering on the form and we'll send the menu. You can see more on our catering page.

What's expected for cleanup?

You take down your decor, bag your trash, and return furniture where it was. The cleaning fee covers our staff doing the real cleaning after: sweeping, mopping, sanitizing.
