    Large Groups & Private Events

    Minimum Spend

    Our minimum spends are tailored to your specific needs and vary based on the day of the week and the season.

    • How it works: We don't typically charge a "venue hire fee." Instead, we use a minimum spend model, which means every dollar goes directly toward your food and drinks for the event.

    • Peak vs. Off-Peak: Naturally, a Friday night in December will have a higher minimum spend than a mid-week afternoon in winter.

    • Flexible Options: If you don't quite need the whole bar, reserving a dedicated area for your group is a great way to enjoy the atmosphere with a more accessible minimum spend.

    What We Offer

    • Evenings & Weekends: While still casual, many guests opt for "smart casual" attire as the bar transitions into a livelier social spot.

    • Masterclasses & Events: Since you’ll be getting hands-on behind the bar during sessions like the Spicy Margarita or Espresso Martini classes, comfortable clothing and sensible footwear are recommended.
