A place for good company
Meet Black Iris.
Black Iris brings an art gallery, social club, lounge spaces, and a full-service bar together in Richmond’s Arts District. We host cultural events, private gatherings, and opportunities for our members to connect with the people behind thoughtful work.
For distilleries, that means a setting where your representative can share the craft, ingredients, and decisions behind the spirits—not just pour a sample.

Let’s shape the evening
A collaboration built together.
Tell us which spirits you’d like to feature, who would attend from your team, and your preferred dates. We’ll discuss guest count, timing, glassware, service, food, promotion, and the arrangements for product and event costs before confirming anything.
Our venue also includes a cigar lounge; room selection and guest preferences can be discussed during planning.
Our catering options include grazing displays, sliders, flatbreads, and shareable bites. View our catering menu (PDF).
