The Wine Cellar
The Popina Wine Cellar is just down the block at 153 Columbia Street. It boasts a long, custom-made farm table that can accommodate up to 20 seated and 30 standing for everything from family-style feasts to in-depth vertical wine tastings.
Capacity: Up to 20 seated, 30 standing

Side Dining Room
In summer, it's got coverage overhead for rain. In colder months, it's fully enclosed, heated, and serves as our main dining room when the backyard seating is sunset.
For the days where it's just perfect, or unseasonably warm, the roof is retractable and side walls slide open, so in any weather, you can enjoy an airy, spacious outdoor venue.
In a seated format, the Covered Patio can accommodate up to 40, but for a more casual standing event, the space allows for 50 guests.
Capacity: 40 guests seated, 50 for a standing cocktail party

The Bar & Dining Room
Popina’s Bar & Dining Room is an intimate, neighborhood favorite. Cozy up to the bar for aperitivo, or sit with family & friends for a multi-course meal. The space can accommodate up to 18 seated in a private setting, or for groups of up to 15, a family-style pre-fixe dinner is the way to go.
Capacity: 18 guests seated

Weddings
Capacity: 100

Backyard
From May through October, reserving the coveted backyard is our favorite way to party at Popina. It’s casual, spacious – perfect for up to 75 guests standing (65 seated). You won’t find a venue elsewhere in Brooklyn with a bocce court included! A satellite bar and custom chalkboard sign are also provided, making it an ideal turnkey event venue.
