“Dear PoPville,
I’m looking for a bar that has a private space that can be rented out to hold about 40-60 people. Ideally, we’d love to keep the space reservation/clean up fee low (we can guarantee a BIG bartender tip). Not sure what bars have spaces/floors that can be rented out for a party. Ideas?”
