What you'll do:

Your group takes over The Lucerne downtown Nassau's best-kept speakeasy for a fully private session in a candlelit, velvet-seated bar where the only people on the guest list are the ones you put there.

• Claim your private space – Your booking gives your group exclusive use of The Lucerne's full interior for the duration of your session, no shared seating, no public bar access, no strangers at your table.

• Order from the full bar – Your dedicated bartender works your group's tab for the session, serving The Lucerne's full cocktail menu, including signature Nassau rum drinks, wine, and non-alcoholic options.

• Name a signature cocktail – Work with your bartender to name and customize a cocktail for your group, a small detail that makes bachelorette parties, birthdays, and celebrations feel genuinely personal rather than off-the-shelf.

• Set the music – Submit your playlist before arrival or request songs during the session; the sound system is yours for the booking window, so the vibe in the room is entirely your call.

• Use the space your way – The Lucerne's 1920s-styled interior, velvet booths, low lighting, and chandelier centerpiece doubles as a photo backdrop that requires zero setup and works in every direction your camera points.

This is a private party venue experience, not a ticketed bar night. The difference is that nothing about the evening depends on who else shows up. Your group controls the space, the sound, and the pace from the moment you walk through the hidden door to the moment you leave.

Why we love it for your party:

• Fully private buyout – No minimum spend per person beyond the booking fee; The Lucerne is exclusively yours for the session window, which means your group sets the energy without managing an audience.

• Hidden venue, high impact – The speakeasy entrance tucked in downtown Nassau with no visible signage is a built-in experience moment that starts the event before anyone orders a drink.

• Groups of 8 to 30 – The space is sized specifically for mid-to-large private groups: big enough to feel like a real event, intimate enough that everyone is in the same room and part of the same conversation.

• Custom departure times for private bookings – Private groups can coordinate arrival and departure times directly with Islandz Tours, making this a workable option for cruise passengers, wedding parties, and groups with tight schedules.

• Downtown Nassau location – The Lucerne sits in the heart of Nassau's walkable downtown corridor, making it a straightforward add-on to a rum crawl, dinner, or post-event celebration without requiring transportation logistics.
