While pricey for what you get, the food (sandwiches, scones, pastries) was tasty and so was the tea. However, unlike most tea services, scones were in short supply, and there was no jam, Also, the tea was cold quickly because our cups were filled in passing as opposed to having a pot at the table. Still, the service was good, the place was packed, and it was great getting caught up with an old friend. The fresh fruit was a nice touch! I hope to return to try the Filipino tea experience.

My Bro and I rolled in here to watch Tucson Roller Derby. We didn't know what to expect but was…read morepleasantly surprised by the space. There were lots of people but it wasn't crowded and there was plenty of room for the tables for selling t-shirts and baked goods. Minus 1 star cuz the floor's concrete and hurts your legs after standing/walking on it for 2 hours. There were chairs but they were all filled up. Most of the chairs didn't have padding either. I don't think added more chairs is an option because there would need to be a riser to lift the back rows up so people could see. As this is a multipurpose facility there's limits as to what can be done. Hey, it would be great for Fight-Club! Oops, I'm not suppose to talk about that.

I have been the Bookman's Event Center several times for Tucson Comic Con and Tucson Roller Derby…read moreevents. The staff are courteous and helpful and the facilities are clean. While I was there for the Comic Con the owner was actually wandering around asking vendors/artists how everything was and was it set up well for them, which I really appreciated. It is a large warehouse and the parking is in ample supply here. It's a little tough to find if you're not familiar with the location, it's behind a large RV sales place just off of I-10 and Irvington. The bathrooms are quite dated and there are only four stalls in the women's restroom. Overall though I think it's a good facility.

You can totally adapt venue with any theme you have in mind. Nice open space. The only thing I noticed was one restroom which can be a problem. I didn't really do a total walk through to check out space in back. So all I can hope is there is another one. Definitely look into this space, start looking at food vendors, go talk with Barrio brewery about craft beers, and go throw yourself a great get-together!

They have everything you can think of from A/V Equipment is heavy, Hi-Speed Internet,, power point/hdmi connectors, TVs, projector screens, a PA system, furniture and more. There isn't a detail that gets missed. And most importantly, working with Erin (Marketing/Events Manager) is a true joy! She treats your event just as her own. She's incredibly knowledgeable, organized, enthusiastic and one thousand percent committed to making your event perfect! If you're searching for a venue for anything from a wedding reception to corporate event, workshop, etc. Railyard fits the bill! I worked with Erin on a special event and the entire process was fun and stress free. In addition to be a venue, Rail Yard also offers smaller meeting spaces that fit individual needs to small groups. You can rent for the day or lease a workspace from them. Everything is top quality and really beautiful. They also a have a kitchen with coffee and snacks! If I was going to rent an office space, I'd absolutely have one here! It's a beautiful setting with lovely people!

I wish I could give this location negative stars. My friend and I rented this location for a event…read morein November of this year, everything was agreed upon, from the rental fee to the amount of people allowed to attend to the duration of the party. We have people flying in from out of state, like myself and djs from California. We rented an airbnb for the weekend and all. Then one month exactly prior to the event the owner chose to change his mind for absolutely no reason. So we had to scramble to find another location for our event, or else we'd be out of the a few thousand dollars for lodging and airfare. Make sure you get a written contract as this guy is a terrible human being and I wouldn't want this to happen to you. BAD BUSINESS!!!!

This place is absolutely stunning and full of character. The architecture, décor, and layout feel like a time capsule in the best way possible--layered with history, charm, and so many unique spaces that it honestly feels endless. Courtyards, rooms, nooks, multiple levels... every corner feels like it could host something special. It's one of those buildings where you keep discovering new areas as you walk through, and your mind immediately starts racing with ideas for gatherings, pop-ups, workshops, socials, and creative events. Everything about the space feels intentional, warm, and visually rich without being overdone. Easily one of my favorite event venues I've come across in Tucson so far. Whether you're visiting from out of town or looking for a memorable place to host something locally, this is absolutely worth checking out.

Whether you're attending a wedding or a special event, Historic Bates Mansion is a unique and charming space that brings people together. I'd love to come back for another event!
