- Monarch Lounge. The gorgeous lobby of our venue is called the Monarch Lounge and is available to book and sponsor a party that would be convenient to all attendees. To make this happen, you would work with the venue, and we would promote the event on our program.
- 3rd St Market Hall. If you'd like a slightly more adventurous option, 3rd St Market Hall is 2 blocks from our venue. They have fun engagement/gaming opportunities and private rooms that would make for a fun party, which we would promote in our program.
