Popped into Eola View for an art exhibit, and I was quietly impressed. It has a really good view of Lake Eola. The space is large, airy, and filled with numerous seating areas for congregating with peers. It is conveniently located near various other spots downtown, in particular City Arts, which hosts an opening art exhibit on the 3rd Thursday of every month at their galleries. So, you can usually continue your art walk at Eola View (which is how I initially found out about the events they host).
I've also learned it is a great co-working space, making it great for networking and small corporate events. So, that's always a good thing to keep in mind for us corporate girlies/fellas. They do have a full-service bar as well, public restrooms, service stairs, and one service elevator (which is a little slow, but in all honesty, what elevator in DTO is NOT SLOW). All in all, the space is LOVELY. I overly love their "Champagne Bar" area (because I OVERLY LOVE The Champagne Bar in Tampa at the Oxford Exchange). It is great for pictures and wedding receptions (as well as various other gatherings).
So, I am a BIG FAN of Eola View, and I look forward to attending more events in the future. read more
