Ainslie is a converted warehouse of about 10,000 square feet in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, with three floors that can be booked for corporate events, group celebrations, cocktail parties and intimate weddings. The largest space holds 150 standing guests. Each floor has its own bar, which suits an organiser planning a drinks reception or a casual team event.
Seminars and company events
Business meetings and corporate events are on the venue's list of event types. The Living Room on the second floor, reached by a walk-up, holds 65 standing or 50 seated, with a full bar and a private bathroom. It is the quietest of the three spaces and suits a team dinner or a small client gathering. The kitchen offers custom food and drink menus built around wood-fired pizzas and Italian dishes.
The venue has no projector or conference setup listed, so an organiser planning a presentation should ask about equipment first.
Weddings and receptions
Intimate weddings, bridal showers and birthday parties are listed. The Beer Garden and Bar on the first floor has a retractable roof, so the space works in different seasons. It holds 150 standing or 110 seated and has a full bar. The Rooftop on the third floor holds 60 standing or 35 seated, with a full bar and skyline views.
