Teen Birthdays & Sweet 16

The Birthday Party
They'll Actually Post About.

A private room with a big screen, two mics and their own playlist. Friends only, no little kids, no parents hovering in the frame — and a neon sign for the photos.

Why teens pick iRock

Cool enough for them, simple enough for you

Thirteenth birthdays, sweet sixteens, end-of-year parties. Here's why it works at that age.

🔒

Their room, their rules

The door closes and it's just their friends. They run the queue, they pick the songs, nobody's watching but the group.

📸

Made for photos

Neon signs, colored lights, a skyline mural in the VIP room. Ask about a personalized neon name sign for the birthday photo.

🎸

Every song they know

Search by artist or title; K-pop, Taylor, Bad Bunny, showtunes — and songs in other languages for the friend who wants to sing in Korean or Spanish.

🍔

Food they'll eat

Wings, popcorn chicken, fries, mozzarella sticks, sliders, ramen — delivered to the room. Soda and juice by the pitcher.

⏱

Done by 10

Under-21 parties wrap by 10 PM, which happens to be exactly when you wanted to pick them up anyway.

👪

Parents can stay or step out

Hang in the room, or sit at the bar twenty feet away. Dedicated staff checks on the room the whole time.

Questions

Questions parents (and teens) ask

Is it OK for a group of 15-year-olds without a parent in the room?

An adult should be on site and responsible for the group; most parents stay at the bar area nearby or in the room. No alcohol is served in a room with anyone under 21.

Can we do a sweet 16 with 20 kids?

Yes — the VIP room holds up to 25 total, including any adults. It has the disco ball, the projector screen, and the skyline mural.

Can they order whatever they want?

From the kitchen menu and the non-alcoholic drinks, yes. You can set a limit with us at the start or run an open food tab and settle at the end.

What time do we need to be out?

Under-21 groups leave by 10 PM. A 6 to 9 or 7 to 10 booking works well.

How much does a room cost?

$35 to $75 per hour depending on size, plus whatever you order, an 18% service charge, and tax. Sunday through Thursday the room is 30% off from 5 to 9 PM.

Can we bring a cake?

Yes — cake or cupcakes for a celebration are welcome. Everything else comes from our kitchen and bar.

What People Are Saying

From parents who booked

★★★★★

"We were here last night for my daughter's 18th birthday. The atmosphere and song selection were great. The food was excellent. James was very helpful with everything. My daughter and her friends thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Highly recommend this place!"

— Nicole H., Yelp
★★★★★

"Reserved a large private room on a Monday evening for my daughter's 17th birthday and 5 friends. No outside food allowed except for birthday cake. They had so much fun choosing songs that they stayed for close to 3 hours and probably would've stayed longer. You press a button in the room for service, so you don't even need to leave."

— Nancy B., Germantown, Yelp
★★★★★

"We rented a room for a birthday party. Staff was very helpful explaining how to operate the equipment, attentive to our requests, quick to respond, and accurate with the food order. The private room was very soundproof. We sang for 2.5 hours straight — a really good time!"
