What is included in the rental?

• Loft = Open Air Private dining room with capability of AV, by hooking up to the TV
• Old Brewery = Semi private area
Does it have a minimum spend?
Party Tables - These are very fluid and situational. Standard rate just for the table is $350 minimum spend on event nights. This increases per table we add to the "rental" and increases the minimum spend. If they are set on being in the loft, max out at 20 guests and then will need to proceed into the full loft rental if they so desire to be in the loft.
Loft - (private parties automatically starts at 21 guests or more)
• Monday-Friday- Lunch No minimum unless a specified dedicated server is requested($500 min spend before tax and gratuity)
• Friday/Saturday - Dinner $1,100 minimum spend
• Saturday- Lunch $500 minimum spend up to 25 guests/$700 26- 35 guests Sunday- Lunch and dinner $500 minimum spend up to 25 guests/$700 26-35 guests
(the increase in price is based that, at that many guests a server cannot take another table and that will take up their whole shift)
Old Brewery Area - (more often then not only used as a rental when the loft is rented or in combination with)
• Friday and Saturday nights $650 minimum spend. Any other time with no events $350 minimum spend
Events downtown and at Van Andel change these dramatically. Loft=$1250 minimum spend, Old Brewery=$750
