When it comes to accommodating large groups and private parties for an occasion, it can be pretty stressful. You have to call around to a bunch of places, try and make a reservation, and hope that when you get there, they’ll have a space that works for all of you. While most places are accepting of groups of eight or so people, for larger groups, this can be a little tricky to find. To help out, we’ve put together a list of places that allow large groups of people, including private event spaces too!
Note: Be sure to check availability at these places listed below as some require reservations that change seasonally.
