Why Choose a Private Catered Watch Party Over a Sports Bar?
Reserved Space and Private Experience
If you’re looking to relax and enjoy a game without the chaos and stress of other fans, who are often drunk and prone to ruining the experience, then go private.
You won’t have to worry about fighting for tables and elbow space, or getting stressed about good sightlines. Our venue is spacious and staffed to make your experience as much fun as possible.
Customizing Theming and Branding
We’ll happily line our place with your country’s flags and colors to make the experience feel like home and extra fun. And, if you’re hosting a corporate experience, we can incorporate your company’s logo, visuals, and other decor.
Dedicated staff and Event coordination
We’re not a sports bar. We’re an experienced catering team and hospitality company in operation since 1977. So, we know how to put on a flawless event!
You’ll get staff dedicated to your group only, who aren’t juggling walk-in traffic as you get in a sports bar. We can pre-plan food timing and drink service around kickoff, half-time, and post-match to prevent chaos, too.
