Mockingbird is a 700 square foot kitchen and beverage lounge at 213 7th Avenue in Park Slope, Brooklyn. It can be booked for private events of up to 30 seated guests, from a team celebration to a small reception, with packages built around non-alcoholic cocktails and small plates.
Seminars and company events
The venue presents itself for professional gatherings as well as personal celebrations. With 30 seats and an open layout, it suits a team party, a client evening or a small offsite closing drink rather than a conference. A professional audio system fills the room without overwhelming conversation, which helps for short speeches or a presentation to a seated group.
The Basic Weekday Party Package is available only before 4 pm Monday to Friday. It includes four hours of space rental, one custom themed cocktail, two bartenders on staff and full zero-proof cocktail service, for up to 30 guests. This is the practical format for a daytime team event, since the room opens from 9 am on weekdays.
Weddings and receptions
The official page names wedding receptions among the intimate celebrations the room suits. The Prime-Time Party Package is available any time on any day. It includes four hours of rental, two custom themed cocktails, two bartenders and full zero-proof cocktail service, again for up to 30 guests. The venue says it handles planning, staffing, sourcing and service, so the organizer only has to arrive.
Couples who want a booze-free celebration will find the concept built in. Beer and wine selections are also offered in the food and beverage packages.
Rooms and capacities
There is one room. It measures 700 square feet, has 12 foot ceilings and mixes booth and bar seating, with open floor space for guests to mingle. The stated capacity is 30 seated guests. A full venue rental is also available at any time, any day, for organizers who run their own event and only need a well-equipped room.
Accessibility is described on the site: an ADA-compliant bathroom, a layout that allows easy movement, and an entryway ramp on request.
Catering
Packages combine bespoke non-alcoholic cocktails, a curated beer and wine selection and small plates. Mockingbird also runs a mobile bartending service, listed in its main menu, for events held elsewhere. Rules on outside food and drink for the full venue rental are set out on the official event page, so confirm them when you send your request.
History and setting
Mockingbird is an all-day neighborhood kitchen and beverage lounge in Park Slope, open seven days a week. It serves coffee and matcha by day, brunch on weekends and non-alcoholic cocktails with supper in the evening. A private event therefore takes place in a working neighborhood room with full table service, not in a blank hall.
Getting there
The F and G trains stop at 7th Avenue, and the 2 and 3 trains stop at Grand Army Plaza. The B67 and B69 buses serve the area, and a Citi Bike station is at 3rd Street and 7th Avenue. Limited metered street parking is available nearby.
