The Clare Michael

My first trip to the Clare Michael was for the 2024 Yelpies event, and I was fairly impressed with the place.Parking is just around back, sharing space with Calaveras and the Circle Cinema, so there's not a lot of legging it.The space itself is airy and open. Acoustics are pretty good for the type of space it is. We had probably 60+ people in attendance and it never felt overcrowded or claustrophobic.Definitely a great place to host a mid-sized type of event.

Located in Kendall Whittier, this 3,000 sq ft space is a unique venue for all sorts of events, from weddings to parties. It has capacity for up to 90 people and they have a lot of services included like chairs, tables, linens, and AV equipment. I attended an art exhibition at this venue and loved how it worked as a gallery. The space is a blank white canvas so it works perfectly for whatever art/decor you have in mind. The open space allows for different seating/event arrangement. When it comes to affordability, the pricing cannot be beat! If you want to stop by for a tour or ask any questions, their office hours are Monday to Friday from 10am to 3 pm.
