Brooklyn Event Space Features & Layout

A thoughtfully designed Williamsburg venue with a main event space for celebrations and a private studio for small group gatherings.

Bat Haus is a two-level Brooklyn event space designed with two distinct areas on separate floors. The main floor accommodates celebrations of up to 50 guests, while the downstairs studio hosts intimate workshops and creative gatherings for up to 15 guests.

This layout allows larger celebrations and smaller group experiences to take place comfortably while maintaining privacy for each gathering.

Main Floor Event Space

The main floor is the primary hosting area at Bat Haus and is designed for celebrations of up to 50 guests.

When you reserve the main floor, the event space and connected backyard garden are exclusively yours for the duration of your event.

The open layout supports seated dinners, cocktail gatherings, ceremonies, and cultural celebrations.

Main floor features include:

• seating for up to 50 guests
• natural wood tables and chairs
• large glass block window wall with natural light
• Bluetooth sound system
• warm string lighting
• indoor greenery throughout the space
• private backyard garden for mingling and photos

Downstairs Studio for Small Gatherings

Bat Haus also includes a private studio room on the lower level designed for smaller gatherings of up to 15 guests.

This space is ideal for:

Birthday pottery workshops
Bridal or birthday floral arranging classes
Sound bath sessions
• Small creative gatherings
• Intimate wellness experiences

The downstairs studio includes:

• a private activity room
• a lounge area for mingling and food display (BYOB + food)
• access to the downstairs patio and kitchen access with refrigerator and microwave for light prep

This smaller studio offers a more intimate and accessible option for groups who want a guided experience without renting the full venue.

Shared Amenities

The kitchen, changing room, and one restroom sit on the lower level of the venue. A separate restroom on the main floor serves events hosted upstairs.

These areas support both hosting spaces and are used briefly when needed.

Shared amenities include:

• Lobby with clear signage showing directions and current events in the space
• Kitchen for food preparation with refrigerator and microwave
• Changing room
• One restroom on the lower level

Professional cleaning crew support included for both the main floor and downstairs studio after your event.

Privacy and Layout

Bat Haus is designed with two separate hosting areas on different floors.

When you reserve the main floor, the event room and backyard garden remain fully private for your celebration.

The downstairs studio is a separate room used for smaller workshops and gatherings. It can also be reserved together with the main floor if you would like exclusive use of the entire space. Contact us to find out more!

This layout allows groups to gather comfortably while keeping the atmosphere relaxed and uninterrupted.

Space Layout

  • As you enter Bat Haus, you arrive through a shared lobby that leads into the main floor event space and the downstairs studio. From the lobby, guests walk directly into the bright main room where most celebrations take place.

    The main event space opens up with high ceilings, string lights, and paper lanterns overhead, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for gatherings.

    On the right near the entrance, a wooden bar unit anchors the space. It works well for a welcome drink station, check in table, or styled welcome sign. Next to it, two to three 6 x 2 foot tables are typically placed for food, catering, dessert displays, or gift tables.

    On the left side, coat racks are available during colder months. In warmer seasons, this area can be cleared for additional standing room, a photo backdrop, or decorative installation.

    All tables are on wheels, making it easy to adjust the layout for buffet lines, long dining setups, or open space for dancing and mingling.

  • Right next to the bar unit is the dedicated food area, where guests naturally gather after grabbing a drink.

    Three 6 x 2 foot wooden tables line the wall to create a continuous buffet surface. If you need more space, two 6 x 4 foot folding tables are available for desserts, catering trays, or a separate beverage station.

    The layout supports smooth self-serve flow with plenty of room for grazing boards, hot dishes, salads, and desserts. It is flexible and easy to expand based on your event size.

  • After you pass the food area, you enter the main room where the seating lines both sides with a clear center aisle.

    Five 8 x 2 foot wooden tables are arranged in parallel rows, comfortably seating 40 to 50 guests in a long banquet style that encourages conversation while keeping the space open.

    The large window wall at the back is a natural focal point for a wedding arch, ceremony setup, or balloon backdrop. You can also use the shorter side wall or corner for a styled photo moment without changing the seating layout.

  • Toward the back of the main event space, you can step outside into our rare private backyard. This outdoor area extends your gathering beyond the room and works well for cocktail hour, wedding portraits, or guests who want fresh air and relaxed conversation. The indoor to outdoor flow adds flexibility, especially during spring and summer celebrations.

    The backyard connected to the main floor is reserved for events hosted in the main space, giving your guests a comfortable outdoor area to mingle while keeping the celebration centered around your group.

    On the lower level, you will find the kitchenette and additional support spaces. The kitchenette provides counter space for catering prep, plating, and beverage setup, along with a sink and refrigeration access to keep service organized and out of sight.

    The lower level also includes a private studio room designed for small group workshops and intimate gatherings of up to 15 guests. This room operates independently from the main event space and includes a lounge area nearby for mingling or light food display.

    The entrance lobby, kitchenette, and restrooms are located on the lower level and may be used briefly by guests from either hosting area. Event activities themselves take place in separate rooms, allowing celebrations on the main floor to remain comfortable and uninterrupted.
