A rentable, private event space has opened in West University Place.

Meet the owner

Founder Kristi Ison opened BASH in July on Edloe Street, according to the business social media page.

"Whether you're gathering for a chic mahjong night, planning a private celebration, or dancing the night at one of our themed DJ events, BASH was made to bring people together beautifully," a statement on the business website reads.

Clients can rent the venue space on weekdays and weekends for various price rates, according to the business website. Party packages are also available for teen events, ages 9+.


Zooming out

West University Place City Council unanimously approved an alcohol variance for the venue on Oct. 13.

Requests to provide alcohol as a convenience at the venue were requested by patrons, agenda documents state, and Ison was approved for her request with the intention to close daily by midnight.
