Sweatshop Basement Bar & Yard at Seamstress Restaurant & Bar
About this space
The alter-ego of the Seamstress Cocktail Bar, this room is unashamedly everything the cocktail bar is not, and where all the mischief happens.
Where-as the Cocktail Bar is all jazz & blues, cocktails, table service, Sweatshop is the New York basement bar, straight up counter service, local beers, bourbon whiskey, banter and graffiti.
A robust space where you could literally swing from the rafters, we can accommodate up to 90 in the main room and there is more space in the partially covered courtyard, private to this floor.
Completely self-contained, it is available any night of the week for exclusive use. This is a great space for birthday parties, farewell drinks, student-faculty parties, engagements, wedding receptions, fashion shows, corporate networking events, client entertaining, Christmas parties, cocktails classes, product launches, pop-up galleries and more.
