Next Door by Mulvaney’s — A Tale of Spaces & Character

A Venue Rooted in Sacramento’s Spirit

Just steps from the celebrated Mulvaney’s B&L dining room, through a garden and past a restored 1893 firehouse, lies Next Door—a banquet hall where history and hospitality intertwine. Once a working auto shop, the space has been elegantly reimagined with redwood bow-truss ceilings, exposed beams, and polished concrete floors, creating a canvas rich with personality and style.

This is more than a venue—it’s a tribute to Sacramento’s farm-to-fork soul, where every detail resonates with warmth, authenticity, and character.

✨ Distinctive Features

  Redwood arches and vintage structure blend with contemporary finishes, offering an industrial-yet-refined backdrop ideal for weddings, fundraisers, or creative corporate events.

• Flexible Capacity
  Comfortably accommodates ~120 seated guests, or up to 150 cocktail-style—adaptable enough to feel cozy for smaller events yet grand for milestone celebrations.

• Courtyard Magic
  A sunwashed, narrow outdoor courtyard adjoins the hall—perfect for pre-dinner mingling, alfresco cocktails, or intimate vow exchanges.
