    As an old social club, the building is beautiful, and it's amazing to have a speakeasy with multiple rooms downstairs. Very friendly workers who will get you whatever you need. The room was comfy with lots of light.

    Clean and quiet! Room was large, modern, simple, and well laid-out. I liked having a fridge in the room, I will try them next time. Location was excellent for meetings.
