It’s large enough to fit from 25 to 75 guests, making it ideal for a small to a midsize celebration. P.S. you can also book its private room or the entire venue, if you want both indoor and outdoor spaces (and more spare room to party).

Petty Cash Taqueria & Bar, 7360 Beverly Blvd, Los Angeles

If your birthday falls on a Taco Tuesday (or you just really love Mexican food), Petty Cash Taqueria & Bar is where it’s at.

Inside you’ll find graffiti-covered walls, high top tables, and industrial accents. As for size, it’s 3,700 square feet and can accommodate up to 30 guests. Oh, and if you don’t want to do a full buyout, you can always book the communal picnic tables or bar separately.
