It was the PERFECT place for our family and friends to celebrate the marriage of our daughter. Jonathan @ The Teapot and his team did an exemplary job hosting our guests and it's such a COOL venue with a fun/joyous vibe. The Teapot is highly recommended and they delivered exactly what was expected with no surprises. We had a wonderful time and will cherish the memories for a lifetime. Thank you Teapot for making this process fun, easy to work with, and providing such a beautiful venue. Much gratitude and appreciation going your way! Brett

This was the perfect intimate venue and the night was absolutely amazing. Jonathan was extremely helpful suggesting a timeline for us and making sure the event ran smoothly. The Teapot also has optional decoration packages and staff that help with the event. I could not recommend this space enough - it was everything we dreamed.

What a wonderful space available downtown Phoenix. Their website does not do justice to the work…read morethey have put in to create a great event space with bar, stage, garden and all amenities. Attended a wedding at Alwun and can say this place is a new favorite event space downtown. Very quiet, picturesque and really takes you away from the hustle and bustle of the downtown environment around Fountain, bar, tables & chairs, stage, covered area and great lighting. Really wonderful in person.

The art was quite nice with mixed media that was at time part Hellraiser, and part Roman Emperor Caligula. I love to look at art, it focuses my attention as I slow down stop and reflect. Art always challenges one to shift one perspective and muse new ways of thought and bent on life. The patio and outdoor landscape is equal parts calmness with water gently gurgling, koi fish swimming with lush pretty plantings and equal parts First Friday pumping techno bass, food trucks and art stalls. If you haven't been so check out Alwun House, support local businesses and artists!!

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and funny. The entire house has been restored to represent how the original owners would have it set up as closely as possible.

It was a great way to spend a little bit of time before our next activity.

It has similar feel to the Rave and Aragon but definitely a much more updated/new venue. Check-in security process was smooth, drinks were good we ordered the margaritas in the refillable cups but never got refills because I'm not the person that leaves there spot at the concert and it's also a fairly large drink! We were right up at the stage and during the opening act and main they actually had a beverage/bar cart come through at the security fence which I thought was pretty smart. Great sound, wonderful view from where we managed to stand, and good crowd.

I attended the Devo concert on 4/13/26 at The Van Buren, and unfortunately, the experience was very…read moredisappointing. The venue felt significantly oversold, to the point where it was nearly impossible to move comfortably. From where I was standing, I couldn't see the stage at all, which made it hard to enjoy the performance I came to see. Beyond just being crowded, it felt unsafe. The number of people packed into the space seemed excessive, and I genuinely question whether it exceeded fire code limits. People were standing all the way back into the bar area. Navigating through the crowd was difficult, and there didn't appear to be enough room for people to exit easily if needed. I've been to this venue since its 2017 opening and had much better experiences, but this event felt poorly managed. I hope they take crowd capacity and guest safety more seriously in the future.

They had a DJ when we were there, which gave the place a fun and lively vibe but it wasn't so loud that you couldn't actually talk to the people at your table. There's tons of seating and lots of different food options, so everyone can find something they like. Staff there seemed friendly as well. It reminded me of an outdoor mall food court but in a good way! Definitely a great place to hang out, grab some food, have a few drinks to enjoy a Sunday Funday.

My what a joy it was to be able to attend an Arizona tech week event here and get to see this magnificent space and all its glory. This is a large venue, perfect for weddings gatherings, and large events. Will come back here again and again just now that it is outside so I can't get a little bit warm in those spring and summer months. Parking downtown is always a little bit difficult, but there were several public parking places you could pay to park at close by.

The architecture, atmosphere, and attention to detail are incredible, and the team running it couldn't be kinder or more professional. You can tell a lot of heart and vision went into bringing this space back to life. My only critique is the limited vendor flexibility. The in-house vendor is excellent but extremely costly compared to others in the area, and it would be great if the venue allowed more options like many others do. Still, it's a remarkable place -- just be prepared for premium pricing when it comes to f&b.

Super cool event on Valentine's Day with the Phx Warehouse Project and Relentless Beats called LaLa…read moreLand. The music was awesome and overall I had a great time, I would have given 5 stars if everything was cool, except not everything was cool. Main issue I have with the venue is lack of restrooms for that many people. There has to be more access to restrooms with people drinking and dancing and partying. The line for both inside and outside toilets was insane... I heard so many people commenting about the situation. Maybe next time, more porta potties outside so 1) there are more options and less lines, and 2) the ones that are available aren't so disgusting. I've used many porta johns at many festivals, for this size venue the 3 they had outside (without leaving the show) were gross. I literally could not touch anything in there. Just hover and pee. They had 2 more when you leave but there were no ins/outs so those weren't an option. This can be done better, I know cause I've been to places where taking care of peoples basic needs are more attended to. Anyway, otherwise great time. Music & sound were on point and the lasers were so cool. #ilovelazers

I checked out Warehouse 215 on a Friday evening for Candlelight Queen. Located on the outskirts of…read moredowntown, I Uber'd there but did notice that they have a parking lot. Warehouse 215 is a nice venue. While I don't know a ton about what types of events they host outside of the one I attended, they had portable chairs set up surrounding the performance. Not the most comfortable chairs but bearable for the hour performance. There's exposed wood on the ceiling which adds to the aesthetic. During the event I attended, there were bars both inside the main area and out (no food though) as well as bathrooms both inside the main area and out. After buying an adult beverage, I accidentally left my credit card at the bar. When I realized it a few minutes later, the bartender was waiting for me with my card. Crisis averted! Overall, pretty nice venue.
