Birthdays & milestones · Bushwick
A birthday worth the trip
Throw the 30th, 40th, or 50th in a working distillery instead of booking a back room somewhere. A reserved corner or the whole bar, cocktails made on our own rye and gin, and a tasting if you want to make a thing of it.
Milestones, engagements, and the occasional divorce party
This is Brooklyn — birthdays, engagement parties, reunions, un-showers, and yes, divorce parties. It’s built for the bachelor/bachelorette crowd — the rye + gin tasting is the hook. Take a semi-private area for a smaller group, or buy out the room and turn it up.
Make it yours
Small or all-out
Reserved area → full buyout
From an intimate 30 in a corner to 370 for the whole room — the scale is yours.
The activity
Tastings & classes
A guided tasting or a cocktail class turns the party into an experience, not just a bar tab.
The vibe
DJs & a real sound system
Bring a DJ or we’ll help you book one. The room is built for a night, not a reservation.
The part a loft can’t copy
Every booking can add the distillery itself. This is the difference-maker, and the reason people remember the night — priced per guest, on top of the bar.
Hands-on
Cocktail class
Your group builds Martinis and Manhattans behind the bar with our team — a team-builder that actually ends with a drink you made.
Guided
Rye & gin tasting
A led tasting through the New York Distilling range — Jaywalk Rye, Dorothy Parker Gin, Perry’s Tot — poured feet from where it’s made.
Behind the glass
Distillery tour
A walk through the working distillery and the story of the 17th-century Horton rye revived over thirteen harvests. Add it to any event.
Recurring
Private barrel select
Your company picks a cask, then comes back to bottle it with custom labels — a reason to return, and favors no one else can hand out.
Good to know
How many people can you hold?
Up to 370 for a full buyout, and comfortably down to an intimate 30 in a reserved area. The room adapts to seated dinners or standing receptions.
What does it cost?
We work on a food-and-beverage minimum spend, tiered by space, day, and season. Monday–Wednesday is our best value, since the bar is otherwise dark. Send an inquiry and we’ll quote your date.
Can we bring outside catering?
The bar is ours; food is flexible — we’ll talk through in-house snacks, a guest-chef pop-up, or your own caterer — whatever the night calls for.
Is there AV and sound?
Yes — a proper sound system and big screens, DJ- and live-music-ready. There’s a dedicated performance space for panels, talks, and podcast recordings.
Where are you, and how do people get there?
573 Johnson Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11237 — Bushwick / East Williamsburg, a short walk from the L train at Jefferson St. Walkable from the agencies, studios, and offices nearby.
Do you do shoots?
Yes. Film, photo, and commercial shoots rent the room — a design-forward working bar and distillery, camera-ready.
