About this space

Kilowatt has a Moody, Rock 'n' Roll atmosphere with vintage red pendant lighting and a red and black interior color scheme. The walls feature screen-printed lowbrow artwork by COOP and KOZIK originally made for your favorite bands that have played on Kilowatt's stage, as well as vintage sound equipment and electronics lining the bar.

The 1st floor Bar is equipped with a top-notch sound system designed to support all types of live music. Our high-end flexible sound system can host everything from an all-digital DJ setup, Serato, old fashioned vinyl, to a full live band experience. Pull the projector screen down in front of the stage and show your favorite movie, or project a psychedelic light show across the entire stage. Also available to you: dynamic lighting options that will enhance the ambiance of your event and create a memorable experience for all. We also have TVs available with a large collection of vintage films and cartoons on VHS to choose from as well as darts and a pool table to keep guests entertained
