I first heard about Gold Bar Whiskey through an invitation to their happy hour. The whiskey, small bites, and beautiful view of treasure Island captivated me!
About six months later, I decided that I wanted to host my big milestone birthday at this venue in a speakeasy theme. I booked a private party for about 75+ guests. The venue was very reasonably priced, charging for each hour of rental. You can also bring in external vendors (for a fee) which a lot of venues I researched did not allow.
Their event manager, Arielle was a pleasure to work with. She met me in person to walk the space and drew out the map of the event. Arielle asked detailed questions to make sure she knew the run of events, placements of vendors, and what equipment was required. The venue provided a stage, tables, utensils, tablecloths, warming trays, easels, and gold frames for our signage. They were very accommodating to what we needed. And, we're able to display a custom slide show too!
I can't stop raving about the food and drinks. They had delicious small bites such as their truffle tarts, lobster and crab corn dogs, pork sliders, and soup dumplings with a black vinegar sauce aged in used whiskey barrels! The venue made specially crafted menus for my big day where I could pick the cocktails I wanted to feature and name them. I'm a whiskey drinker so I loved their options. And, my husband is a gin drinker and likewise appreciated their gin options!
Overall this was a spectacular birthday and I wouldn't have wanted to celebrate this anywhere else!! The decor is so beautiful and I didn't need to add much to the ambiance. I highly recommend this location for a private party, or just for a casual drink and food!
