About this space

The 2,300-square-foot venue at Joy offers a indoor dining room paired with a breezy, covered patio, creating the ultimate space for everything from intimate get-togethers to lively events. Inside, colorful hanging threads and eclectic decor set the mood, seating up to 40 guests comfortably. With red chairs, warm wood accents, and plenty of lush greenery, the main dining area feels inviting and full of energy, especially with natural light streaming in through big windows.

Step outside, and the vibe continues on our patio—a relaxed yet stylish spot with matching red seating and a minimalist layout under a partially open roof. It’s perfect for sipping cocktails or enjoying a little al fresco dining while still feeling private and cozy.

Together, these two spaces make Joy an ideal spot for private dinners, corporate events, celebrations, or small bodas. With a mix of indoor comfort and outdoor charm, we’re ready to help you create an event to remember!

Ready to bring your amigos and familia together here? Let's start planning your next fiesta!
