The Grand U
Outdoor Patio & Smoking Area

At The Grand U, we understand that

every guest should feel welcome and comfortable — including those who smoke. That’s why we’ve created a private,

enclosed outdoor patio designed

specifically for:

✅ Cigar smokers
✅ Hookah smokers
✅ Cigarette smokers
✅ Guests who want a fresh air break

without leaving the event

This designated area keeps the indoor

space clean and smoke-free, while still

allowing guests to relax, socialize, and

enjoy themselves without interruption.

     our patio offers a stylish, accessible space               just steps away from the celebration.

WHAT OUR GUESTS ARE SAYING

Perfect Venue for Family Reunion Banquet Dinner! We hosted our family reunion banquet dinner at The Grand U, and it was absolutely outstanding! The venue was elegant, spacious, and beautifully maintained-exactly what we envisioned for our event. The ambiance added a touch of class, and the all-white elegant décor we designed in the space looked stunning.
The owners, lesha, with planning and Carlos, with the bar service at The Grand U were incredibly professional and accommodating. From the planning process leading to the evening of the banquet dinner, Carlos & lesha went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly. The setup was flawless, and the layout we requested worked perfectly for our family's presence with dinner.
Our family was truly impressed, and we received so many compliments on the venue. It was the perfect setting to celebrate, reconnect, and make lasting memories. We highly recommend
