Surprise 24th Birthday Party in The Speakeasy
June 27, 2008
The party was great. Everyone had a blast and wanted to know where I found such a cool place. Heather, the manager at Gin Mill, was very helpful and attentive. My girlfriends have already mentioned they want to host a party there the next time someone has a birthday. Thank you all for everything. This was the least stressful party I’ve ever had to plan/host. I would definitely recommend Eat, Drink, & Be Merry to any of my friends.
Thanks again!

Graduation Party at The Speakeasy
May 23, 2008
Hi Christine, Kate, Ali, Niki, & Mike!
I wanted to thank you all so much for all of your help planning and putting together my joint graduation party. We had the best time and that was due to all of you and the staff at the Gin Mill. I always knew that whenever I called Eat Drink and Be Merry I would be talking to a competent and friendly person and that really made the hustle and bustle of putting together a party much much easier. I also had a great experience with the staff at the Gin Mill. Heather called me the day before which was a nice way to segue into the party. The entire staff at the bar was so accomodating and friendly that they made our party fantasitc. If I ever need to out together another party I will definatly call you all first.
Thanks for making the party a success!

The party was a great success. The bachelor and all the guys were extremely excited and happy with the outcome. The waitress was amazing at the Gin Mill and provided us with everything we needed. Definitely would plan another event again when the chance comes up. Thanks for all the fun.

80’s Party in The Speakeasy
May 15, 2008
Hi all,
The event went well. It was a good time. Can’t say I’ve ever had a bad time at The Gin Mill. Bartenders/staff were nice and accommodating. We plan to throw another party hopefully at the end of the summer. We’ll surely be throwing another 80s party next spring. It’s becoming a yearly event among our friends.
Thanks for all your help with organizing the party. Also thanks for the free happy hour at Down The Hatch. We’ll be using that very soon.
Regards,
Brian

Going Away Party in The Speakeasy
March 14, 2008
All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves. We had a farewell party for two colleagues that were leaving Columbia University. The location of the Speakeasy (Gin Mill) was great as it is only a few blocks from the subway. The staff was friendly and attentive. Although the food was only bar food, everyone raved at how great the sliders, wings and shrimp shumai tasted. The day of the event, we had one guest tell us that they are kosher and that she would not be able to have anything on the buffet. I called, was advised to speak to the manager when we arrived, the manager gave her the bar menu and she selected from those options. Having the private room with private bathrooms was really a bonus so that our guests didn’t have to wade through the bar crowd and we were able to turn down the music for speeches.
Thanks again. We will definitely plan on having future events with you.

Thank you so much for helping my sister and I coordinate a fabulous (and most fun) 24th birthday party. I have nothing but positive things to say about the service Niki provided for our party, as well as the on-sight staff. My friends are still raving about what a fantastic party it was, which means I know you will be seeing us again in the near future.
Best,

Engagement Party in The Speakeasy
March 5, 2008
Thank you so, so much for making my 30th birthday - and an impromptu engagement party! - such a fantastic event! The staff at The Gin Mill was accommodating, very nice and a lot of fun. They helped us with everything, whether it was ensuring our DJ had the right equipment to having our guests get through the shoulder-to-shoulder crowd to our downstairs room. Also, once the bartender found out that me and my boyfriend got engaged hours earlier, he hooked us up with free shots for ourselves and our best friends. Eat, Drink, and Be Merry made this a low-stress event every step of the way. Thanks again!
Best,

Engagement Party in The Speakeasy
February 22, 2008
The party was great, at first I realized we would have over 90 people and that 1 bartender would not be enough. But the Gin Mill was very accommodating giving me 2 extra bartenders. The room was great for what I was looking for and the DVD photo slideshow on the plasmas was great. Thank you for making everything so easy and answering all my questions so quickly.

50th Birthday Party in The Speakeasy
February 18, 2008
Just wanted to send a quick note of thanks to your whole crew — and especially Heather who did an awesome job of making sure that my anxiety level stayed down throughout the entire evening of my husband’s 50th Birthday party Saturday night at the Gin Mill. By all accounts the party was a resounding success and your group’s professionalism and follow-through was a significant factor to that end.
Simply put, working with you all was wonderful from our first contact until the last guest was shooed out of the Speakeasy Room and I wouldn’t hesitate to use you again - or make that recommendation to friends and family - in the future.
Until the next one! Thanks again.

Hello,
The party was a hit. Thanks so much for everything and special thanks to Heather, the party manager. The night wouldn’t have gone so smoothly if it wasn’t for her! I would certainly recommend anyone planning a party, especially if they are looking for a private room, to hold it at The speakeasy at the Gin Mill.
Thanks so much again. Sad it’s over!
Cheers,
