Top Boston Gala Venues

Tiki Rock events are usually unique and unforgettable. Please complete the form on their website and they will contact you as soon as possible. Tiki Rock has been serving classic and proprietary tiki cocktails crafted with fresh juices, handmade syrups, and unusual garnishes at 2 Broad St. Tiki Rock, which launched in Boston in 2018, blew any leftover winter blues away with a barrage of the best tiki drinks. It features tiki-style totem poles, bright blue bar stools, orange banquettes, and hand-painted scenes. Freshly produced juices and syrups are available in the central bar, complementing a menu of fun and classic tiki-style cocktails. A bright beacon beckons in downtown Boston if you're seeking for a break from the cold and perhaps more ice this weekend. Eater Boston reports that Tiki Rock debuted on Broad Street earlier this week. Tropical rain falls against illuminated Polynesian figures in Tiki Rock's entryway, flanking a carved wooden door. There are bright blue bar stools and orange banquettes inside the dining room, as well as hand-painted images by Boston artist Joanna Ciampa, carved tiki-style totem poles, and a wall of scallop shells collected by Straub's mother in Chatham. Tiki Rock is the idea of general manager Christopher Straub, who took over The Place's former location at 2 Broad St. and hired Moe Kuroki to run Oisa Ramen in the adjacent space. Straub brings years of Hyatt Hotel experience to the project. As beverage director, Charles Smedile (Uni, Clio, Waypoint) comes on board, as is chef de cuisine Matt McPherson (South End Buttery, Porto) and sushi chef Minggan "Tony" Wu.

There are four levels to this building. In the center of Boston, there is a footprint. The splendor of the Gilded Age will make your heart skip a beat. The Tower is a soulful venue. With a wistful brilliance that is both subtle and eternal, it keeps watch over Boston. The Tower is overflowing with a Gatsby-like zeal for life, fuelled by LONGWOOD'S passion for extraordinary events. She can accommodate up to 400 guests and is a blank and historic slate. Set the tone with a cocktail in the sumptuous First Floor Lounge, which is perfect for networking and private dining. Original brick walls and wood ceiling beams add elegance, character, and history to the space. Conversation is sparked and guests are encouraged to engage in comfortable fireside seating areas. Elegant, vintage chandeliers hang from high ceilings in the Second Floor Parlor, casting an ever-changing light that floods in through antique elevated windows. The space's nobility is enhanced with gilded age sculptures and beautiful woodwork, providing the ideal backdrop for your formal banquet or black-tie gala. The Green Room on the Third Floor is Boston's best-kept secret. Our Green Room is a day or night private area with plenty of possibilities for an underground dinner party, small gathering, or high-stakes private meeting. During a raucous gathering above or below, the Green Room also provides a modest and private location for retreat. The Fourth Floor Library is where intrigue meets elegance, inspired by the great stories of the past. Original bookcases adorn the walls, inspiring heartfelt events like charity galas and award ceremonies, where ambitions are as big as the stories on the shelves. Your tale is waiting for you.
