Tucked away in the heart of South Congress, our Courtyard Lounge is a hidden outdoor space perfect for corporate happy hours, social gatherings or private events of any kind. Whether you're hosting a casual mixer or something more formal, our team will help customize bar services and catering to fit your event. For more intimate gatherings, the pool area hosts 16–20 guests, while the courtyard accommodates up to 75 standing or 60 seated, making it one of the more versatile venues in Austin.

Our intimate garden area offers a charming private space for ceremonies, celebrations, cocktail parties and more. Depending on the size of your event, booking a portion, or occasionally all, of the adjoining garden guest rooms may be required. The full Secret Garden accommodates up to 60 seated or 70 standing, while a half Secret Garden setup allows for 40 seated or 50 standing guests, making it a one-of-a-kind setting among Austin venues.

Give your group a unique setting to meet, plan and dream together right in the heart of South Congress.
