The Blue Lion is setting a new standard for event hosting by moving past the typical venue experience to create unforgettable gatherings.

Special Events Coordinator, Jerry Rush, and his team are dedicated to turning every celebration into the kind of party people talk about long after it’s over.

Why host your event at The Blue Lion?

Hosting your celebration at The Blue Lion offers unique advantages that make planning effortless and the experience unforgettable:
  • Expert planning support
  • Customized space with complimentary decor
  • Versatile spaces for any event
  • Ability to host diverse events
  • Built-in entertainment
  • Customized culinary experience
A full transformation

Rush brings extensive knowledge to the role, honed through years in the hospitality industry.

“I’ve seen everything from large weddings to small gatherings, and the goal is to make every event memorable,” Rush said. “We go beyond hosting a party—we decorate, plan and add personal touches to make the occasion special.”

The pub’s secret weapon is its proactive, creative decor approach. The team doesn’t wait for a host to deliver decorations; they completely transform the space. Tables are moved, linens and centerpieces are rearranged, and other design elements are added to make the room look entirely different from the normal setup.

"We have five storage units full of decorations ready to create a memorable party for you," Rush said.



Perfect spaces for every occasion

Blue Lion offers three distinct spaces for any gathering:
  • The Blue Lion Pub: A warm, intimate setting for up to 49 guests, perfect for smaller celebrations.
  • The VIP Lion’s Den: A secluded retreat for private parties, accommodating up to six guests.
  • The Blue Lion Brunchery: A vibrant, spacious area for events of up to 150 guests.
The pub is family-friendly and capable of hosting children's parties by closing pocket doors to separate the restaurant from the pub area.

Blue Lion can accommodate:
  • Birthday parties (for children and adults)
  • Wedding showers and anniversaries
  • Corporate and board meetings
  • Sports viewing parties and themed celebrations
  • Book clubs and small social groups
  • Holiday parties and events


Built-in fun and flavor


For many hosts, an added perk is the venue’s built-in entertainment. By booking an event on a Friday or Saturday night, guests can enjoy live bands, trivia on Tuesdays, or Thursday karaoke—all included with their event. This feature allows hosts to celebrate with high-quality entertainment without the extra cost or hassle of hiring performers.

The Blue Lion is dedicated to flexibility, offering specialized off-menu catering for events. This service is enhanced by Chef Orlando Bermudez, who focuses on authentic flavors and presentation.

This new energy in the kitchen, combined with Rush’s eye for detail, ensures every aspect of the event—from the food to the decorations—is elevated.
