Designed for elevated social dining and vibrant celebrations, KIRA offers a dynamic setting for unforgettable gatherings. From intimate dinners to full restaurant buyouts, our team curates seamless experiences that combine refined cuisine, craft cocktails, and an atmosphere that evolves from dinner to late night — corporate dinners and networking events, holiday parties, birthday celebrations, engagement parties and rehearsal dinners. ### Find your space Move the guest count and the room list answers. Every capacity below is from the 2026 Events Guide. - **Bar Lounge** (15 seated, 30 standing): A chic, intimate cocktail space for groups of up to twenty. Moody lighting, plush soft seating and walk-up access to the bar — best for stylish gatherings, social celebrations and cocktail receptions. _Cocktail receptions · Semi-private · Walk-up bar_ - **Lower Dining Room** (38 seated, 50 standing): Sculptural design with intimate comfort — curved entryways and plush banquette seating. Reserve it in tandem with the adjoining lounge, outfitted with couches and coffee tables, and the two flow from cocktail hour into a seated dinner. _Seated dinners · Pairs with the lounge · Semi-private_ - **Upper Dining Room** (40 seated, 50 standing): A polished semi-private room perched above the restaurant, best enjoyed as a seated dinner. It adjoins a larger private event space through a pocket door — opened up, the combined areas host up to 150 guests. _Seated dinners · Opens to 150 · Custom layouts_ - **Upper + Private Space** (150 standing): The pocket door between the Upper Dining Room and the adjoining private event space opens for larger gatherings — one room for up to 150 guests, still set apart from the main restaurant. _Up to 150 · Pocket-door expansion · Receptions_ - **Kira Omakase Bar** (170 standing): From Food & Wine 2017 Best New Chef Yoshi Okai. Kira Omakase sits between the main restaurant and Ohm Lounge — centuries-old Japanese technique and Tokyo-style Edomae sushi, meticulously sourced seafood and sake pairings. _Chef Yoshi Okai · Edomae sushi · Sake pairings_ - **Temple Room** (70 standing): A wood-lined room that adds on to either the bar or Ohm Lounge, or stands on its own for a smaller reception. Most often used as the breakout space beside a larger event. _Add-on space · Receptions · Breakout room_ - **Ohm Lounge** (290 standing): A dynamic private event venue with state-of-the-art audio and lighting and wrap-around video screens, and its own entrance on Lafayette Street. Rented with the Omakase Bar it holds 530; on weekends it becomes a high-energy nightclub. _Wrap-around screens · Separate entrance · 530 with Omakase_ - **Full Buyout** (800 standing): Every space under one roof — restaurant, omakase, Temple Room and Ohm Lounge — for up to 800 guests. One coordinator, one run of show, and a venue that carries an evening from a seated dinner through to a late-night floor. _800 guests · Whole venue · Late night_ ### Corporate & group events Client and board dinners, conference and convention receptions, holiday parties, team celebrations and product launches — all run to a brief agreed in writing before the date: headcount, budget, timing, dietary requirements and a run of show, with one coordinator from proposal to invoice. Adaptable floorplans and comprehensive AV mean the room shapes itself around the evening, whether that is a seated dinner for a dozen or a reception for hundreds. Pre-set menus are priced per head, so the cost is known before anyone sits down. - Private and semi-private event space across three floors - Comprehensive AV — and wrap-around video screens in Ohm Lounge - Adaptable floorplans, from a pocket-door expansion to a full buyout - Bespoke beverage packages and pre-set menus priced per head - Walking distance to every downtown hotel [Request a proposal](https://barcadia.tripleseat.com/party_request/18413) ### In the middle of everything - Caesars Casino: 0.4 mi - Convention Center: 0.5 mi - French Quarter: 0.8 mi - Caesars Superdome: 1 mi - Smoothie King Center: 1 mi - Garden District: 2 mi Walking distance to all downtown hotels. ### Event policies **Pricing & minimums.** Pricing for your preferred space is provided by the Event Coordinator. All food and beverage, room rental fees and additional charges are subject to sales tax and service charges. If the food-and-beverage minimum required to reserve a space is not met, the remaining balance is charged as a room rental fee; that minimum does not include staffing fees, gratuity or taxes. **Timing, setup & load-out.** Events begin no earlier than 8 AM and conclude no later than 4 AM, with exceptions case by case. Hosts have access one hour before the start for setup; additional setup time can be arranged for a labor fee. Last call is announced about fifteen minutes before the end, with a fifteen-minute grace period after. Next-day load-out and overnight storage must be requested ahead of the event. **Vendors, staffing & decoration.** Outside vendors — photographers, DJs, musicians — must be approved by management before you contract with them. The number of bartenders required is set by management; satellite bars, passed appetizers, buffet attendants and extra service staff carry labor fees. No confetti (including balloons filled with it), no glitter, no glass on the floor and nothing adhered to the walls. Client-provided decorations are approved by your Event Coordinator. ### Plan your next event Tell us the date, the headcount and what the evening is for. Your coordinator comes back with the room, the menu and the number.
