Perfect spot for a medium-to-large group happy hour. It’s often difficult to find a place that will accept reservations for groups of 12-20 without having to book an entire event space or private room, but the Ready Room easily accommodated our group of ~ 20, even with people arriving at staggered times (i.e. we didn’t need the entire party present to get seated). Great views, food and drinks with excellent service and a DJ spinning tunes. Highly recommend for your next group outing.
