lackadaisi Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 The time has come again to start thinking about holiday parties, and once again it is up to me to come up with ideas for our department holiday party, and I am at a loss. I am looking for a space in the downtown or Penn Quarter/Gallery Place area that would hold about 70-100 people for cocktails and heavy hors d'oeurves. Although the event itself will likely only last 2-3 hours, there is a tendency for them to continue in some form (either in the same location or moving to the bar area) until closing time. Not generally the quietest of groups either. Last year we were at Zengo, which was perfect! Everyone had the best time. Although it was only scheduled from about 6:30-8:30, we didn't really break up at all until about 10, at which time about 1/3 of the people went to the bar area until closing. But, our group has grown quite a bit since then, and I no longer think we could fit in the private room there. Any suggestions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xcanuck Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 This could warrant a thread on it's own...but maybe we should be thinking about a DR's holiday happy hour? Or maybe a DR's Hallowe'en happy hour? Come dressed as your favorite tart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jacques Gastreaux Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Johnny's Half Shell has a room in the front for private parties that might fit your needs. They set up a bar at one end and the staff passed hors d'oeurves. I'm sure that it is big enough for 70-100, but you might give it a look see. The room is to the left as you come in the front door.

stevem Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 Our organization had our party last year at Firefly. The staff did a great job and the food was lovely. We'll be going back there this year. Feel free to PM me for more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JLK Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I don't think Firefly would work for a group of this size. If Zola has a private room, where is it? I have never seen one. Charlie Palmer Steak has a variety of private rooms. IndeBleu also has different rooms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jparrott Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 I imagine 701 must do a zillion of these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CajunJason Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Zola's private room is far removed from Zola proper, and the room sucks ventworm nut. Zola has an entire lounge for rent, complete with upper balcony, called "Eyes Only" It's a very cool space, but books out way early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
