How many guests can Half Note hold?
The room holds up to 100 people across 2,900 sq ft of open floor. If your guest list is larger, get in touch before booking.
How much does it cost to rent Half Note for a comedy show?
The room is priced hourly for the whole 2,900 sq ft floor, and the rate depends on the day and the time of day. Send your date, rough headcount and the hours you need, and we will come back with a quote.
Can we have a bartender?
Yes — a bartender can be booked for the event, and the presentation bar is on the event floor.
Can we book late at night?
The room is bookable from 8:00am to 2:00am, seven days a week. 2:00am is the hard close, so plan tear-down to finish before then. Bookings outside those hours need to be confirmed by email first.
