Covert Cocktail Club
Covert Cocktail Club
Multi-city
Once upon a time in 2016, Matt Levy, founder of Covert Cocktail Club, hosted a secret speakeasy as an intimate place for strangers to gather in his home. The only way to find out about it was via word of mouth. No address was given, the only clue being a sign placed in the window, “Cocktails Here”. A lot of people thought it was pretty cool, even before The New York Times wrote about it. But that was all pre-pandemic, and this is a new era. Liberated from the confines of a single location, Covert Cocktail Club now brings the speakeasy right to your door—be it at your home, office, bar mitzvah, dinner party, bachelor/ette party or anywhere you choose!

Threes Brewing Gowanus
Threes Brewing Gowanus
Threes Brewing Gowanus is a brewery and private event venue at 333 Douglass Street in Gowanus, Brooklyn — our flagship location, and the largest of our Brooklyn event spaces. Four bookable spaces, from a 25-person dinner to a 250-person indoor/outdoor buyout. The centerpiece is the Yard: 3,200 sq ft of outdoor event space anchored by a 16-ft steel trellis wrapped in hops, ivy, and wisteria, with hornbeam apple trees along the south wall. In winter, heated tents enclose it entirely, making it a genuine year-round option rather than a summer-only one. Indoors, the Main Bar runs a 24-line draught system and full bar against warm lighting and industrial accents. Corporate planners book us for team offsites, all-hands, holiday parties and end-of-year celebrations, summer company events, client dinners and receptions, product launches, team happy hours, recruiting mixers, panels and fireside chats, and guided beer tastings as a team activity. Past clients include The New York Times, HBO Max, and Food Bank for New York City. Every on-site event includes a dedicated event manager, AV and sound system, a customized floor plan, all furniture, glassware and flatware, white linen tablecloths and napkins, votive candlelight, personalized bar menus, and personalized welcome signage. No vendor restrictions apart from our in-house bar and catering — bring your own DJ, florist, or photographer. Food comes from Grand Army, our exclusive catering partner: passed bites, stationed spreads, family-style mains, large party platters, and dessert, with vegetarian, and gluten-free options throughout. Beverage packages range from Threes draft beer to draft plus wine, standard open bar, premium open bar, and an all non-alcoholic package of mocktails, N/A beer and wine. Custom signature cocktails on request. The beer is ours — IPAs, lagers, and mixed-culture ales, brewed by Threes. If the team can't leave the office, we also run offsite events: guided beer tastings and full offsite bar service at your workplace or venue. Gowanus, Brooklyn 11217 — walking distance from Park Slope, Boerum Hill, and Carroll Gardens, and close to Downtown Brooklyn and Barclays Center. Reach out for availability, a guided tour, and a customized proposal.

Your VIP Pass Experiences
Your VIP Pass Experiences
Multi-city
In 1992, New York Offstage began, when founder, Bev Sambrotto, left her role as Assistant Director of Visitor Services at Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts. Her tenure at Lincoln Center gave her invaluable experience as a producer of refined cultural events. This experience included talent recruitment and coordination with world-class talent from Lincoln Center’s companies, cutting edge event planning and production for Fortune 500 corporations, and creative, interactive program content for patrons, and international travel and luxury group clients. New York Offstage flourished as the industry leader in these immersive, behind-the-scenes experiences showcasing New York’s cultural world. As the company grew it was evident that its services and business model could be copied in other leading cultural destinations and in 2007 the brand was renamed The Offstage Group. Until 2012 The Offstage Group served groups of all sizes. The company had weathered several economic downturns and as a safeguard changed its business model to include memorable experiences for individual travelers. Your VIP Pass was born!

I'm a NYC-based magician and mentalist specializing in corporate events, conferences, galas, holiday parties, and product launches. I do close-up magic, stage shows, or both, depending on what your event calls for. What planners tell me they notice most: I fit. I mingle with guests the way a good colleague would, pull them into the experience, and leave the room buzzing. No awkward "gather around" moments. No one sitting on the sidelines on their phones. Past clients include Snapchat, Spotify, Newsweek, Infosys, Credit Industriel et Commercial, Meta, Warner Bros. Discovery, Asana, plus others you're definitely familiar with. "You mingle with the staff so seamlessly. Everyone loves interacting with you and being part of the magic." -- Mary G., Chief Human Resources Officer, Credit Industriel et Commercial "He blew people's minds and added a lot of value to the night." -- Shelby T., Senior Event Producer, Newsweek Based in Brooklyn, available nationwide.
