The second floor, or private garden patio are ideal for weekend brunch, bridal and baby showers, or any private patio reception.
Although we have a bustling neighborhood business, we can set your event on the secluded patio off to the side of Big Bear building enclosed with large flowering garden planters, overhead vines, and knotted trees.
The second floor makes the perfect setting for a fully private space. With plenty of windows, exposed brick walls, and rustic wood paneling, this space is beautiful for all types of daytime events.
