The President's Bar has truly earned its moniker after serving President Barack Obama his first pint of Guinness on St. Patrick's Day 2012, among other occasions. This space is ideal for smaller receptions of 25 people, but it can also be combined with The Snug or the Parlor to accommodate events of up to 150 people. The Snug provides the most privacy, making it an excellent choice for private lunches, business meetings, rehearsal dinners, or even larger cocktail receptions and receptions. Mosaic tile flooring, a service bar, and a television with presentation capabilities are all included in this newly renovated area. Renovations completed in September 2019 include the construction of a new terrace with a door. This all-seasons patio space is equipped with bi-fold windows that provide an a la fresca experience in the summer months while remaining fully insulated during the cooler months. Providing cold beer and wine, the service station can be transformed into a satellite bar for cocktail receptions and other events.
