Is there a minimum spend or event package?

Minimums vary by space configuration and day of week. Please submit a group dining or private event inquiry and a member of our team will gladly provide additional pricing information.

Can we customize the menu?

Absolutely! We offer a series of semi-customizeable menu options to fit your event style and budget. From our signature comfort food to specialty cocktails and our popular milkshake bar, we’ll design a dining experience your guests will love.

Do you have A/V equipment available?

Winnie & Ethel’s has available single-channel house sound, including an auxillary cable plug in for guests who would like to provide their own playlists. Guests are responsible for securing any other A/V equipment, including microphones, presentation screens/televisons, and/or multi-channel sound control systems.

Where are you located and is parking available?

We’re located at 1130 E Charleston Blvd, Suite 140, Las Vegas, NV 89104 – about 8 minutes from the north end of the Strip in the heart of Downtown Las Vegas. There is free parking to all Huntridge Shopping Center patrons directly in front of and around the diner. There is also ample space for coach and bus staging if needed.

Can you accommodate dietary restrictions?

We’re happy to accommodate a wide range of dietary preferences, including vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. When planning your menu, simply share any specific needs with us and we’ll work thoughtfully to ensure your guests are well cared for.

Please note that while we can offer naturally gluten-free dishes, we do not source specialty gluten-free breads. Vegan ingredients (including plant-based milks) are available upon request and must be included as part of your contracted menu selections. At this time, we’re unable to accommodate Halal or Kosher menu requests.

If you have questions about dietary needs, we’re always happy to discuss options in advance so everything feels seamless on event day.

How far in advance should we book?

We recommend booking 4-8 weeks in advance for most events, though we can sometimes accommodate shorter timelines. For wedding brunches and weekend events, booking 2-3 months ahead is ideal to ensure your preferred date and space.
