First things first, someone actually lives here, but they apparently rent the space out for events. Genius.
This space was awesome. When you first enter there was a coat check, and a somewhat open space facing the outside. As you proceed inside, the lower level has a pool table for those who want to enjoy a few rounds. Proceed further in and there are also couches for those that want to relax or hang out.
Proceed further past the tv and cable box, and you hit yet another room. Another open space with a spiral staircase that leads to the 2nd level. Upstairs you have another huge space that can serve any cause, there is a kitchen area, and an outside space which features a hot tub. Yeah, I said that, a hot tub. It is a really cool space, and in a nutshell that is the breakdown.
The event itself was good. I went on day 2. I did not originally have an invitation to this event, however I was fortunate that my friend Monique was kind enough to bring me along as her plus one.
The event had a lot of Yelp All Stars, some I know well and others I met briefly. Some of the newcomers seemed a bit reserved, and we tried to engage a few new people who appeared less social.
Something new for me, I had a few beers! I never drink beer, as was evident by the several overflow situations I had with my beer bottles. Foaming overflow, apparently you have to leave space for air to flow in as you drink from the bottle. I learned that via personal experience. Live and learn.
Though I am not a beer fan, it was either beer or wine, and I really do not enjoy wine, so I went with one of the ales. I have to say, though I am not a big beer drinker, I could drink this. I had a couple of them and felt perfectly fine. The taste was actually quite pleasant. I also learned it takes more than a couple of beers to get me anywhere near a buzz. Shoutout to Brooklyn Brewery for providing the drinks.
For food I had a couple of crab cakes over the evening. I enjoyed them, they tasted really good. Did not taste fishy, was soft where it needed to be and crunchy where it should be. Delicious. I will definitely take a trip to Momo Sushi Shack and Scottadito Osteria Toscana whenever I am in the Brooklyn area.
I had a great time overall. Props to the CMs and Yelp for putting this thing together.
