wanderingbadger17, thanks 😁
Look, none of that matters to me! What matters is having a clean hall, an awesome band, good food, and solid service. We can drink out of glasses from $2.00, or just drink straight from the bottle for $2.00, and I can always fix the decor myself. That stuff isn't my priority. If it's yours, fine—go for it! 👍

Gosh, I didn't even say the garage was under Joker 🤣
You said having a closed garage was a plus, so I mentioned that I actually prefer an open one! Then I used the ones at IBM and Joker as examples! 😁
Quincy:
Don't get patronizing with me now! 😬
I was at Pirate's recently, and there was no wet floor, no swamp, and the AC worked fine. It got hot, sure, but that's what happens when you're dancing on a packed floor! I've been to plenty of summer parties where it gets warm once you start moving. Of course it's going to be hot!
The food there is top-tier and the service is great. My only gripes are the L-shaped layout and the capacity limit. But they have a terrace you can step out onto, a view of the ocean, and a huge parking lot near the dorms... for 42 bucks, it's honestly a steal! 😁

Look, details make the difference. If one cannot perceive the details, one cannot truly see the difference. If I were to begin explaining to you how much it matters to me that the carpet is a certain way, or that I require WMF cutlery, or crystal glassware, or how I care about the fabric of seat covers—how I prefer upholstery that doesn't feel cheap, or how I dislike dry-painted walls, or how much I value that red carpet leading from the hotel entrance to the ballroom, or even how much it matters to me that the person I am negotiating with is someone I can trust... plus excellent food and service... perhaps this sounds trivial to some. However, everything carries its own price and its own clientele. For me, discussing the cost is somewhat questionable because banquet halls and hotels simply aren't comparable. It is akin to comparing a long-sleeved shirt to a tank top. Both are shirts, but there are differences; one uses more material and its execution is more expensive, while the other is cheaper, and that is that. It stands to reason that someone seeking a more formal affair will choose a hotel, whereas someone looking for a budget option will seek out rental halls, and that is all. One cannot simply claim a hotel is expensive; in my view, it isn't expensive considering what it provides.
By the way, the garage isn't at Joker; it's underneath the hotel.
And regarding those pirate-themed parties, I attended an event about three years ago when the generator kicked in and we were without power for an hour or so... the AC was terrible, the room was shaped like an L, and those at the bottom couldn't see a thing happening up front. The floor tiles were wet, which eventually turned into a muddy mess. In my opinion, it was quite poor, but perhaps that is what someone wants and they will happily pay 40 bucks for it. I am not wealthy enough to purchase cheap things. Good luck.
