The Back Room
Suggested 40 guests
Cozy and candlelit, our most-booked room. Own bar, own bartender, a door you can close.
Host a Corporate Event in the East Village
A room of your own, a projector that works, and one bartender who's only pouring for your team.
Screen and sound
Every room has a projector and its own bartender
Put the deck, the reel or the quarter on the projector, then flip to Bluetooth audio when the presenting is over. Nobody's craning around a shared screen, because there's no rest of the bar in your room — just your team and one bartender working your party and nothing else.
No room charge, no booking fee, and the deposit comes back after the event. For a team of 40 to 60 that generally comes out under an East Village event venue that charges for the space and then runs a tab on top. Want food with it? Outside catering is free — order from anywhere on the block.
Weeknights are the smart booking. Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday every room runs a flexible session between 5 PM and midnight at the lowest minimum of the week, which is usually plenty for a team night that starts after work and ends before the trains get weird.

Pricing
You don't rent the room — you meet a bar minimum
There's no charge for the space. You book a session and meet a minimum bar spend for it. If your group drinks past the minimum, you just pay for what you drank. Nothing gets added on top for the room.

Questions
Work events, straight answers
Do you have a private room for a company party?
Three rooms, holding about 40, 50 and 60. Each has its own bar and its own bartender, and the Back Room and the Whiskey Cellar close off behind a door. As East Village NYC event venues go, this is the version where your team isn't sharing a floor with a bachelorette party. Most corporate event spaces in NYC bill for the room first and ask what you need second.
Is there a screen or projector for a presentation?
Every room has a TV and a projector, plus sound you connect over Bluetooth from a phone. Run the deck, run the reel, then switch to music when the talking's done.
How much does a corporate event cost?
There's no room charge. You hit a bar minimum for the session: $700 Wednesday, Thursday or Sunday, and from $500 Friday and Saturday depending on the room and the session. For 40 to 60 people that usually beats a venue that bills for the space and bills again at the bar.
Can we bring catering for a work event?
Yes, and it's free. Outside catering and outside cake are both fine — no catering fee, no cakeage fee.
How late can a weeknight event run?
Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday every room runs a flexible session of up to four hours between 5 PM and midnight, at the lowest minimum of the week. Friday and Saturday split into an early session from 4:30 and a later one that goes to 1 or 2 AM. Closed Monday and Tuesday.
