We had our daughter's Bat Mitzvah at the Spot on West Fifth — it was perfect! The staff went out of their way to make sure the evening was great, highly recommend.

From the very beginning, the communication was outstanding. The team was responsive, accommodating, and genuinely helpful throughout the entire planning process. The space itself is absolutely beautiful! Honestly, little decor was even needed. It provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration and our guests couldn’t stop complimenting the atmosphere.
The perfect backdrop for our baby shower

We recently hosted a corporate leadership training for 70 attendees at The Spot on West Fifth, and the experience exceeded our expectations from start to finish. The team was incredibly attentive, flexible, and proactive, offering thoughtful solutions and ideas we hadn’t even considered. Their consultative approach and friendly demeanor made planning effortless and enjoyable.
Effortless and enjoyable

We LOVED using The Spot for our children's pop up photo shoot. The host was extremely accommodating and went out of the way to get me the things that I needed. I also contacted them last minute and they moved heaven and earth to make our photo shoot happen, and for a very reasonable price.
Extremely accommodating!
