Provider Café at Tinker House

For events that lean more social and relaxed, our ground-floor Provider Café is available for hourly rentals. It’s part of the same building, with a built-in bar, cozy indoor seating, and an expansive patio during warm weather.

Many clients pair Provider with the 2nd Floor Event Space for cocktail hour, welcome drinks, or an after-party that keeps the night going.

Hourly rates for social and corporate events in Provider Café vary by date, timing, and event style. Our team will provide a tailored quote when you inquire.

Bar & Beverage Service

Your bar sets the tone for your event, and our in-house beverage team curates menus that feel elevated, welcoming, and tailored to your celebration. From simple classics to more crafted selections, we handle the full service experience so you can focus on your guests.

Most weekend events require a hosted bar minimum, while weekday and daytime bookings offer more flexible options. We’ll recommend the best fit based on your timeline, guest count, and event flow.

You can explore sample menus, package structures, and beverage upgrades here: Tinker House Beverage Program .

Catering & Event Partners

Food and service flow are a major part of the guest experience. We work with a curated list of local, highly rated caterers who know our building, our load-in, and how to move elegantly through the space.

You will choose your caterer directly from our approved list so the menu, staffing, and style of service match your event. Each partner understands the timing, layout, and expectations that keep events at Tinker House running smoothly.

We also maintain a roster of planners, florists, photographers, DJs, musicians, and specialty vendors who know the venue well and can help you build a team that fits your vision.
