About this space:

The Cellar at Lightbox is a lower-level, speakeasy-style event space within the venue, accommodating up to 80 guests standing or 50 seated, and designed for immersive cocktail receptions and intimate gatherings.

Accessed via a dramatic LED-lit staircase and hidden entrance, this space offers a distinct atmosphere that feels separate from the main event areas while remaining fully integrated into the overall venue experience. Custom-controlled LED lighting is woven throughout the space, allowing organizers to tailor the mood and branding for evening receptions, private parties, networking events, or after-hours programs. A dedicated bar area anchors the layout, making the Cellar especially well suited for cocktail-forward events or social breakouts that complement larger activations upstairs.
