Historic Craft Cocktail Bar with Lounge Atmosphere and Full Bar

Set inside Glendale’s historic Huntley-Evans building, this craft cocktail bar offers a private-event setting with more character than a conventional banquet room. The venue accommodates up to 145 guests and covers roughly 2,000 square feet, with a layout centered on a full bar and lounge atmosphere. Its beverage program focuses on whiskey, tequila, signature cocktails, seasonal drinks, draft beer, and house-made bitters, juices, syrups, and infusions. That makes the bar itself part of the event rather than simply a service counter in the corner. The property was renovated in 2024, yet the concept leans into the building’s older character and classic cocktail traditions. Private parties can use the established furniture, bar environment, and hospitality setup instead of trying to recreate a nightlife feel inside an empty rental hall.

The space also offers flexibility around food. Outside catering is permitted, giving hosts the ability to bring in a preferred menu while keeping drinks handled through the venue’s bar operation. Wireless internet, ADA/ACA accessibility, and valet parking cover several practical needs for guests and organizers. With a capacity below 150, the room is large enough for a lively birthday, company party, engagement celebration, or cocktail reception without becoming an oversized ballroom. The lounge format also makes it easier to build an event around mingling, conversation, music, and drinks rather than a rigid seated schedule. For groups that want a polished but less formal atmosphere, the setting already has the visual identity and bar program that would otherwise require significant rentals and styling. A host can concentrate on food, entertainment, and guest flow while the venue supplies the established cocktail-bar environment, beverage infrastructure, and recently updated interior.
