Holiday Parties
Holiday Parties Without the Hotel Ballroom
The holiday party venues San Diego offices book first are the ones that handle food, drinks and room in a single call. Far Corner does all three under one roof: a 1912 brick warehouse in the East Village with two bars, a DJ booth and a kitchen that makes everything from scratch.
Thursdays and Fridays in early and mid December go first every year. Send your date and headcount now and we'll tell you what's still open.
Why Book Your Holiday Party Here
An office holiday party should be the easiest event on your calendar. We keep it simple: one venue, one menu, one bar plan and one team running it.
Your Own Room
Semi-private areas for 20 to 100 guests or the whole building for up to 300.
A Menu for Mixed Crowds
Pizza, salads, wings and charcuterie cover just about every diet in the room.
Bar Formats That Fit
Open bar, hosted bar with a cap or drink tickets. Mix them if you like.
DJ Booth On Site
Turn dinner into a dance floor without renting a separate venue.
Company Christmas Parties, Team Dinners and Client Nights
Company Christmas parties of 60 to 300 usually take the full venue so the team has the bars, the pool table and the DJ booth to themselves. It's the right call when you want a toast, branded touches and no strangers at the next table.
Smaller teams of 20 to 60 do well in a semi-private section. You still get the energy of a full room and the same food and bar, usually at a lower cost. Tell us the headcount and we'll suggest the setup that fits.
Holiday Menus and Bar Packages
Holiday parties put every diet in one room, which is why pizza works. Our dough ferments 48 to 72 hours and the menu runs from a Margherita and a Veggie Pie to the smoked tri-tip BBQ pie. Round it out with crunchy potatoes, meatballs, Caesar and caprese salads and charcuterie boards.
For the bar, an open bar for the first hour followed by drink tickets is a popular way to keep the budget in check. Espresso martinis and Old Fashioneds tend to be the toast of choice.

Good Questions
When should we book a holiday party?
As early as you can. Early and mid December Thursdays and Fridays usually book first.
How many guests can you hold for a holiday party?
Up to 300 for a full buyout, or roughly 20 to 100 in a semi-private section.
Can we do a party in January instead?
Yes. Post-holiday team parties in January are a great way to get a better date with less competition.
Can we bring decorations?
Yes, within reason. Tell us your plans in the inquiry and our team will confirm what works.
Do you offer drink tickets?
Yes. Drink tickets, an open bar, a hosted bar with a cap and a cash bar are all available.
