    The space is enormous and full of activities. This is a great place to invite a group or maybe a village. You will find all sorts of board games, cocktails, and bar foods to satiate your appetite. The bartenders and servers are very attentive and keep the space clean. Highly recommend this spot if you are new in town or a local wanting to host a game night.

    It's a very spacious area for having fun with friends. Bar and snacks available were tasty. Service is prompt with making drinks and keeping the tables around tidy. Plenty of table top games to play and gaming systems to use. One of my top hangout spots in DTSJ

    An event space made for the gamer in us! TV set ups for Nintendo switch gaming, with devices ready for gaming. Plenty of PC rigs for high level gaming. Friendly staff with lots of accommodation! It's about $20 per hour to use the TVs if you want to connect your own controllers. Just keep in mind that the drink are a bit expensive & watered down/not strong. But I'll definitely be back for the games part.

    Very impressed with the space and drinks. Lots to do, so the fun board games, ample amount of tables and seating, and wide selection of drinks. I didn't order the food but I noticed they also sell food too! Keep in mind the kitchen closing time though. Super lively atmosphere and outgoing staff! I heard it's the only place that had soju on tap! I tried the Emerald Dream (melon soju) and Sarangbae (strawberry soju) cocktail. Each soju cocktail is $12 which is pretty cheap! Considering other bar places would sell almost $20. I liked the melon one a tad bit more. But both were very good and sweet. Easy to drink which can be dangerous.. My friend's Princess Peach looks like water but rest assured it had alcohol. I saw people come here in large groups, celebrating bdays, which makes it an ideal spot for overall social gathering.

    I stopped in here after working a convention nearby. I am from out of town. This place was so cool. I'm a great big nerd myself and I felt right at home. Console games to PC games to tabletop this place has everything. It's a huge open space with a big welcoming environment. If you're a geek or a nerd and you want to be social this is the place to go

    What time does the kitchen and bar close?

    Well that depends, usually about 10 to 11.

    Are there private rooms for rent and if so how much? Do you offer discounts for student/military/other?

    Can I bring my own peripherals for PC gaming? More specifically my own mouse.

    Yes you can! Just let an employee know that you are disconnecting our stuff and they will come grab it. Please be gentle on those USB ports.

    Do you make the pretzels and calzones in house?

    Hey Lianna, sorry no we do not make the pretzels in house. I wish we could! But bread making takes up a lot of space that we don't have. We are confident in the brand we sell to deliver.

    Can we bring our own board and card games to play?

    Yes you can

    Is there any outdoor seating/can you bring your dog?

    Hey Acacia, unfortunately we are considered a restaurant and our beautiful furry and hairy life companions are not allowed in the venue unless they are a service animal (emotional support animals don't count).

    Is outside food allowed? (bday cakes etc.)

    There is a sign posted that allows outside food but no outside alcohol.

    Is there a phone number to contact?

    Nope! We don't have a dedicated phone line, that's so 90's. If you are interested in an event please email events@guuildhouse.gg. If you interested in applying for a job email info@guildhouse.gg.

    How do you reserve a table and can you bring your own games to play?

    Is guildhouse 21+ only?

Just two and a half weeks before the event, I received a text message from the owner saying he had accidentally double booked my date and was asking if I could move the event to another day. I was completely shocked and devastated. I have family traveling from Mexico and Los Angeles, and I've already paid for the caterer, DJ, decorator, cake, and photographer. When you plan an event like this almost a year in advance, it's not something you can just change last minute. He offered to refund my money or try to find another venue, but how could I trust him again after such a huge mistake? I had no choice but to start over and look for another place, which means paying extra fees, delivery charges, and the inconvenience of relocating everything to Gilroy. Because of this, my daughter will no longer have her church ceremony, and that breaks my heart. This experience has been stressful, costly, and deeply disappointing. I do not recommend doing business with this person or this venue. They were unprofessional, careless, and completely unreliable with something so important. He doesn't even deserve the 1 star !!!

The venues restrooms were very clean and as my teen described as aesthetically pleasing. My favorite part of the venue were the chairs!!!! They made my party look more elegant.

The venue itself was a surprise - very nice inside! Great dance floor, sound and light system. Better than many similar sized venues I've been to. I liked that there was room between the dance floor area and bar to allow guests to mingle easily. Our event didn't include hot food, but I visited the prep area and it was clearly large enough for a caterer to stage whatever is needed (ie, lots of stainless countertops and sinks). I wouldn't hesitate to use them for our next event!

We dressed up formally and were expecting to have a very fun engaging time with an elaborate buffet spread. After all, it did cost $70 per ticket!!!! Anyhow we were so disappointed! Their buffet was of fast food fare. There were grilled cheese quesadillas, simple beef burgers and fries. Seriously!!! OMG!!! If I wanted fast food fare like this, I would go to el Pollo Loco or Carls Jr. for better fast food and still pay much less. All I did at the event mostly was sit around and play with my phone. I did talk with a few other people who attended this event who told me the previous work shop event held by Poshmark was not that great either and the food was mediocre. Sure, Poshmark could have done better. There could have been interactive activities like a scavenger hunt event to win prizes and other contests, there could have been guest speakers, and free goody bags for participants. Gee, I am not even an event coordinator and know how this event could have been better! But I found the buffet to be the most disappointing. Sure, Poshmark perhaps chose the menu but it also reflects on the restaurant/event venue. After all, this is supposedly an ultra high end restaurant/event venue with the ambience to match. But the food was not worth the $70 ticket. And, sitting around with not much more to do but over indulge on fast food, talk with others in a noisy venue, and sit around fiddling with my phone was not fun for me. It was the first time my sweetie and I ever went to this restaurant/event venue and it was a let down. We may have got an inaccurate first impression of this place. I would think the general menu for this place must be better then the food that was catered at this event. I would think other events held here would have better buffets with a carving station, a salad bar, a snack bar and more (but for much less than $70 to attend). But surely other events that charge attendance here would have been better than the one we attended here. We did not find coming to this restaurant/event venue memorable. We will not be coming back to this restaurant /event venue nor ever come to another $70 Poshmark event like the one held here. It was disappointing. I wish we could have got our money back.
