Function spaces

[georgy.livejournal.com]

Are there any cool, smaller (50-75) function spaces available for rent in Somerville? The Dilboy is designed for a seating capacity of 150, which is probably more than what I'm interested in.

Thanks!

EDIT: I'm looking for a location where one could have a party, so it should have some measure of character or potential for character :-)

Perhaps the Community Room at the VNA Assisted Living on Lowell Street? This is often used for various community meetings.

There is a cool space on Cameron Street, right on the Somerville/Cambridge line.
Some of the restaurants may have a private room, though I'm not sure about 50-75 people.
The Nave art gallery near Teele Square might rent out event space.

that's 38 Cameron.

also, before deciding that the VNA room "doesn't have character", take a look at it.

Have you looked at the VFW in Porter Sq in Cambridge? Some friends of mine had their wedding reception there. I cannot attest to the actual size or character, but it's at least something to look at.

[ron_newman]

where exactly is this?

Do you mean the VFW at the corner of Summer and Cutter? If so, totally.

[ron_newman]

that's the Dilboy Post which she says is too large.

No, not the one at the corner of Summer and Cutter. That's in Davis. I mean the one on Mass Ave at Porter Sq.

Do you mean the one that's been closed and abandoned for 10+ years? Which I think is now finally being rehabbed into something other than a VFW?

[warlord-mit.livejournal.com]

It's not been closed for 10+ years because I was there within that timeframe. Now, if you had said "5+ years" I would have said "Oh, um, yeah, well, I guess that's what I meant". * shrugs *

It could be closed now. I dont get past Porter much anymore.

I-Cafe rents for private parties. They must be staying open somehow....

This site lists many options:

Try Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Function_spaces)? Oh, wait...

Ok, so apparently I'm not the only one who had that reaction.

I'm not sure if it's the right sort of "rent for a function" situation, or even on what terms/whether it actually rents out, but I've seen plenty held there, but the Somerville Museum (on Central at Westwood, just south of Highland)has a really nice character and might be worth looking into.
