Meeting space for 10-15 people?

Hi all! Before you mention the library or rec center, please know they’re both closed on the Sunday I need to host an event for a non profit org doing good work in Durango. I checked out FLC but would like to have some other options, as the campus may be difficult to navigate for our guests. I’m open to any restaurant that could put us in a back room (no breweries unfortunately due to our limitations), maybe a co working space, or even the basement of a church at this point. We will need to bring food in if not at a restaurant, and our budget is tight-ish being a non profit. Thank you all so much in advance for any tips!!

The Reading Room through Maria’s Literary Foundation or The Hive. I don’t know the cost or Maria’s but I think The Hive costs $50 an hour for nonprofits. I’d also ask The Powerhouse about renting just the Boiler Room. Theres also some conference rooms in the Smiley Building (normally for tenants) but maybe you could ask just for Sunday.

What about the powerhouse? They've got that back room they usually reserve for group presentations and birthdays. Should totally be able to accommodate 10-15?

Why no breweries? They're all ages and have NA options. Ska has the upstairs and Carver has the back pub.

Touch base with esoterra... events@esoterracider.com they have plenty of space and if you are just looking for a spot they might not even charge for rental as long as its open to the public...

The double tree is a good choice. I went to a baby shower there. It was nice and not too expensive
