Events: Frequently Asked Questions

Does Frankies host wedding events?
Yes! Frankies can seat up to 75, making it a lovely spot for rehearsal dinners, champagne receptions, or the intimate wedding ceremony and dinner of your dreams. Frankies is located close to many New York City landmarks, and it is also one of the more affordable all-inclusive wedding spots in Brooklyn. 

Should I make the arrangements for my outdoor party’s tents and other rentals myself?
We have a specific vendor that we use for all rentals for events, and we’ll be happy to make arrangements for you.

Can I have a DJ or band play at my Event?
Due to the close proximity of our neighbors and in keeping with the local noise ordinance, we cannot permit any type of amplified music. If you would like to have an acoustic musician perform, please check with our events planner.  In addition, we have a stereo system that can accept an ipod, so you are welcome to create a special playlist for your event. Please note: Frankies does not have a cabaret license, so group dancing is not permitted.

How long do events usually run at Frankies Spuntino?
The typical event at Frankies is 3 hours long, and we calculate pricing accordingly. If you would like your event to last longer than the allotted three hours, please discuss the current rates with our events manager. Please note that the end time for all events at Frankies is 11 pm. The bar will close 15 minutes before your event is scheduled to end to prepare for your guests’ departure.

What happens if it rains?
If you plan an outdoor event in the garden at Frankies and inclement weather is forecasted, we will discuss options like tents and heaters with you in advance. As Frankies hosts multiple events over a week, its garden is subject to tenting for weather protection at the discretion of Frankies' owners.
