I’ve been executing events out of Dumbo Loft for several years now and it is one of my favorite spaces out of the BK Venues offerings. The kitchen area has many outlets and I have never once had an issue. I usually bring in several high voltage kitchen equipment for service too. Dumbo Loft on site sales crew are helpful and accommodating as well as the security team. Loading in, setting up rentals and breakdown is always seamless with the loading ramp at the side entrance. Would recommend using Dumbo Loft if you’re looking for an intimate event space in the 100-125person range.
