40th Birthday Party in The Havana Room

What a night!!!!

I want to thank you for making my wife’s party a huge success!!  From the first phone call, to the last guest leaving, you guys did EVERYTHING right! Niki, my party coordinater, took care of details that I never would have thought of.  She was professional and a pleasure to deal with.  She addressed my concerns about outside kosher catering, and kept tabs with me throughout the night with the bar tab.  I felt like a guest, and not just the host, and this let me focus on enjoying the party. The bartender and  passers were so nice too!

The DJ that you recommended (Marlon), went the extra mile to quiz me on the crowd to make sure the music was perfect (and it was!!). I had brought in a DVD slideshow to play on the TV’s around the room,  but for some reason, the slideshow would not automatically ‘repeat’, so between the bartender, and Niki, they kept hitting the ‘play’ button (like every 5 minutes) to keep the DVD going!  Now THAT’S going the extra mile!!! 

The room itself was perfect in size ( I had about 100 people) with room to dance and mingle comfortably.  Everyone commented on how nice the room was and noticed how attentive the staff was.  I would HIGHLY recommend Eat, Drink & Be Merry and look forward for the chance to host another party at another one of your venues.  Thanks again!!!!!!!!

Bachelor Party in The Havana Room

Thank you again for helping us put together such a fun & crazy bachelor party.  All of the guys who came to the Havana Room could not stop talking about what a perfect spot it was for a gathering like this, and how much they would all like to do something similar in the near future for the next big event.  The hostess, bar tender and bouncer were all extremely helpful and everything went exactly according to plan.  The room was spotless despite the fact there was an 80+ person party ending shortly before we arrived.  Also, the food was really good.  I wish we had more time to enjoy it.  ED&BM kept bringing out additonal trays of appetizers which the group all enjoyed.  All in all we had a great time, and will certainly be back for another party there soon.

Regards,

Joint Birthday Party in The Oak Cellar

Hello! I called the day after the party and left a voice mail but I suppose it didn’t go through. Everyone had a fantastic time. I couldn’t believe how seamless it was. The staff was extremely welcoming and nice. The space was perfect and of course the drinks were great. I can’t tell you how many people said they would love to use your service to throw a party. I couldn’t have asked for a better night. Thank you again for all of your help. I well definitely be a repeat customer. Thank you again!

Church Party in The Havana Room

 

Hey Gals-

Our party was a great success!  Everyone kept commenting on how nice the space was and how good the food was (particularly the sliders).  We’ve had parties at a couple other bars in NYC and the difference with the Havana Room was that we had our OWN open space, flexibility (no problem bringing in a Karaoke machine or huge posters people were writing on), and the staff was super helpful and nice.  Plus, you made planning the party easy by offering food suggestions, allowing us to have a cash bar, and answering all our questions. 

The only downside was that at times it felt a little cramped–I think we ended up having about 150 people and the site says it can accommodate 200–but that was probably because we had a buffet set up, so that took up room, and the karaoke machine and speakers also took up a lot of room. So that was mainly our fault because we didn’t think about how that would affect space and I don’t even think we told you we were bringing karaoke. And it really wasn’t a big deal because people are used to that in NY. 

Also, you let us give our leftover food to a homeless member of the church and that was an unexpected but appreciated bonus. As a church, it’s hard to find places that will be considerate of our needs, which are probably different than a lot of other clients.

We would definitely work with you guys for another event in the future. Thank you so much!!!
