A Better Place to Gather

More character than a banquet room. More personal than a restaurant reservation.

Pope House gives your group a distinctive place to settle in, share food, explore bourbon, and make the night feel intentionally yours.

Private Events, Your Way

How do I check whether my date is available?

Send the date, approximate guest count, and the type of event you are considering. The Pope House team will follow up with current availability and next steps.

Can food be included with a private event?

Yes. In house catering for private events hosted at Pope House is the primary service. Advance pickup catering may also be available by arrangement. The team will confirm menu choices, portions, availability, and pricing with your inquiry.

Can we request a tasting built around a specific interest?

Yes. Customized tastings are available. Share what your group is interested in and Pope House can help design the program.
