Four rooms. Tap one to look inside.
Each one books on its own, so you are not paying for space you will not use.
A newly renovated retreat above the main floor. Leather couches, lounge chairs, a long dining table and your own TV. Right for birthday hangs, showers and watch parties that want their own space.
- Leather couches and lounge seating
- Long dining table for seated meals
- Your own TV for slideshows or the game
- Completely separated from the main floor
The heart of the tavern. A full service bar centre stage, panoramic lake views, and a dining room built for groups. The lakeside patio opens straight off the floor, so you get indoor and outdoor in one booking.
- Full service bar at the centre of the room
- Lakeside patio access off the dining room
- Panoramic views of Packanack Lake
- Full buyout available for large events
Full venue buyout: up to 170 guests across the main building.
A tucked away room off the main entrance, the one Bob calls the booth room. Booth seating, warm lighting and a dedicated TV. Built for smaller groups who want somewhere quieter without taking the whole venue.
- Booth seating with warm, intimate lighting
- Dedicated TV for presentations or slideshows
- Semi private from the main dining floor
- Ideal for seated dinners and smaller groups
The large clubhouse directly beside the tavern, right on Packanack Lake. It holds about 140, which makes it the room for anything too big for the main building. We cater it from next door and run the service ourselves, so it is the same food and the same staff, just more space.
- Room for about 140 guests
- On the lake, steps from the tavern
- Catered and staffed by our team
- A separate rental fee applies, ask us for the current rate
Photography coming soon. Ask us for a walkthrough in the meantime.
What you actually get when you book.
Passed apps, plated courses or family style. You work it out with the kitchen, and dietary restrictions get handled properly rather than as an afterthought.
Pick the package that fits the night. The bartenders make the drinks properly, which is the part your guests actually remember.
One person owns your event from arrival to last call, with a bartender and service team who know the plan. You host. They run it.
A renovated interior, water views, and an upstairs lounge most people in Wayne do not know exists until they walk into it.
Send us the details and we will take it from there.
One short form. Matt gets back to you the same day.
