Private Event Spaces for 50 People or Fewer in Cincinnati
Most venue conversations start with 200 people. The Revel Room is built for that. But a significant share of the most meaningful professional events happen at a third of that size — a client appreciation dinner for 20, a team celebration for 35, a private happy hour for 50 that actually feels private.
Revelance has three spaces built specifically for those events.
The Taphouse: Up to 50
The Revelance Taphouse is operated by Sonder Brewing and functions as the building’s private bar. For events of 25 to 50 people in a standing reception or cocktail format, it is the right space. The bar is active, the atmosphere is warm, and the drinks are priced at standard Sonder rates — no event markup, no package minimum, bartender included.
The Taphouse does not require decoration to feel like a destination. The bar itself — the taps, the lighting, the Sonder presence — does the work. Add catering of your choice and the evening runs itself.
Emergency 9: 25 to 40
For groups that want the event to have an activity at its center, Emergency 9 holds 25 to 40 people for a simulator-based event. A competitive back nine takes 60 to 90 minutes. The room has conference seating and high-tops, a 10 by 16 foot impact screen, and three displays. After the round, the natural next move is the Taphouse downstairs.
The private room format matters for events where the conversation should stay in the room. Unlike an open-bay simulator venue, Emergency 9 is a dedicated space — no adjacent parties, no shared screens, no strangers watching your group play.
The C-Suite Lounge: 10 to 20
For executive dinners, private tastings, and small group client events, the C-Suite Lounge is the most exclusive space in the building. It holds 10 to 20 people in a lounge configuration, includes a 65-inch TV with surround sound, and features 50 personal bourbon lockers as the visual centerpiece of the room.
This is the format for the kind of evening where the setting communicates something on its own — that you thought about this, that this is not the default restaurant reservation. It works for private bourbon tastings, client appreciation dinners, and small board or leadership gatherings.
Booking a Small Event
All three spaces are available through a single inquiry. There are no mandatory packages, no per-head minimums, and no required vendors. The quote process is a conversation about your group size, date, and what you want the evening to feel like. Start with the event inquiry form and we will respond with availability and a clear quote.
Frequently Asked Questions
Three spaces are designed for smaller gatherings: the Taphouse (up to 50 in a standing reception), Emergency 9 (25 to 40 for a simulator-centered event), and the C-Suite Lounge (10 to 20 for an executive dinner, private tasting, or board-style gathering). Each has a distinct atmosphere and function.
No. Revelance does not require a minimum headcount. A private dinner for 8 in the C-Suite Lounge is as viable as a reception for 200 in the Revel Room. The right space depends on the format of your event, not a minimum spend threshold.
There are no mandatory catering packages and no required vendors. You bring whoever you want to feed your guests, or you arrange drop-off food service. The bar is operated by Sonder Brewing at standard Sonder prices — no event markup, no per-drink premium. A bartender is included.
Client appreciation evenings, executive dinners, team celebrations, birthday and milestone events, product demos, small corporate galas, and private happy hours all work well in the Taphouse or C-Suite format. The spaces are flexible — the furniture moves, the AV is built in, and the Taphouse bar sets the atmosphere without requiring decoration.
