The industrial brick style and wood finishings make for a warm and inviting atmosphere, perfect for any event that requires a bar.

Don’t just take the host’s word on it, there are also many satisfied people in the reviews as well. Here’s what a user who booked a party here had to say: “This venue is amazing! The host is very accommodating. The bar staff is friendly and gives good recommendations. The area is amazing and even though it’s on Broadway parking wasn’t too hard to find. My friends raved about the staff after my party. Thank you for allowing us to use your space.”

Cider Bar in Central East Austin

If you are in need of a dynamic bar that can provide you with both indoor and outdoor spaces, you’ll definitely want to see this East Austin cider bar. This groovy space was actually converted from an old mortuary – although you’d never guess by looking at the charming decor.

People can’t get enough of this place, there are dozens of glowing reviews just like this one: “I had my baby shower at Moontower and it was perfect! The space was exactly what I was looking for. Justin and the staff were all amazing and super helpful. I would highly recommend booking at Moontower for your next event.”

The Speakeasy at Capo

Want your party to have that “hush hush” vibe that can only be achieved in a speakeasy? This Washington D.C.-based bar is an unbelievable value for the luxury it exudes. Check out some of the pictures of all of the warm mood lighting and gorgeous accents. The hosts say the entrance looks like your standard deli freezer door, so you and your guests will get that authentic speakeasy feeling by entering this well-hidden gem. They can provide you with a DJ or off-site catering, so you’ll have all your bases covered.

See what a user who hosted a party for nearly 100 guests had to say about her experience: “The venue is a beauty, and both Rohit & Patrick were phenomenal hosts. They were very responsive throughout the booking process, and made various accommodations during the event to support our setup. The drinks were great and so were the appetizers. The team was a joy to work with. I would certainly book again.”
