A corporate event at the Jaywalker bar and distillery in Bushwick, Brooklyn

Corporate & team events · Bushwick

Off the ballroom grid

Buy out the bar from a co-founder of Brooklyn Brewery, and let your team drink rye and gin made in the room they’re standing in. Offsites, holiday parties, client dinners, launches, recruiting.

The offsite that isn’t a hotel

The teams that book Jaywalker want on-brand, walkable, and memorable — not a beige conference room. It sits in the middle of Bushwick / East Williamsburg’s agencies, studios, and tech offices, and the distillery turns a generic happy hour into a story your team tells for months. Weekday buyouts (Mon–Wed) price aggressively, since the room is otherwise dark.

Built for how teams actually meet

Content, then cocktails

Panels & presentations

A dedicated performance space with AV and sound handles the summit, the sales kickoff, or the all-hands — then the same room flips to a reception.

The team-builder

A class they’ll remember

Put your team behind the bar to build Martinis and Manhattans, or run a guided tasting. It beats an escape room and ends with a drink they made.

Repeatable

Client & milestone dinners

Board and leadership dinners, client appreciation, funding celebrations, product launches, press nights — the room scales from 30 to 370.

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.
