Appointments must be made to see spaces, as we do not show the rooms when there is youth programming, events or meetings taking place.
The center does allow decorations that can be adhered with low-adhesive tape (blue or green). We do not allow sequins, glitter, confetti, slime kits, inflatables, or any type of balloons. Piñatas are allowed outside only. The center does not have decorations to rent.
Daytime parking is often limited in the Ironworks (149 Waubesa) parking lot. Weekday parking in the lot behind Brassworks (214 Waubesa) is off limits from 8 am—5 pm, but is open to the public outside of that time frame, weekends included. Parking is available at St. Bernard Church with drive ways on both Atwood Ave. and Corry St., limited to yellow painted stalls only. There is free street parking available around the neighborhood. City parking limits may apply, so keep an eye out for signs!
The center has a liquor license and childcare license. By law it is illegal to carry-in any alcoholic beverages. Bar service is available for most events. Hospitality staff can tell you more about options and pricing.
Due to city residential codes, on weeknights (Sunday through Thursday), events must end no later than 9pm. Fridays and Saturday's events must end by 10:45pm, guests leave by 11pm, and the building vacated no later than midnight. There is no option to extend that time.
