Nonprofit Fundraising Nights in a Room People Enjoy
Charity events lose money when the venue feels like a classroom. Pour Choice Taphouse is a charity fundraiser venue in Orlando that already has drinks, music-ready space, and a layout for a silent auction table plus a crowd.
Capacity is about 91 inside and about 20 to 30 on the patio. Fifty self-pour taps and a full bar keep guests in the room after the pitch. Bring catering so your food budget goes to a vendor you chose, not a hotel package.
Park in the on-site lot at 1225 N Mills Ave. The venue is 21 and older. Open to the public Wednesday to Sunday. Monday and Tuesday are for private events.

Why Nonprofits Use This Taphouse
Attendance, catering freedom, and a capacity you can plan around.
Capacity You Can Publish
About 91 inside plus patio overflow. That is a honest number for ticketed 21+ fundraisers, not a ballroom that swallows a small crowd.
BYO Catering Protects the Budget
Bring any caterer or restaurant trays. More of the ticket price can go to the mission. Nearby options are on the nearby food page.
Self-Pour Keeps People on Site
Guests who are entertained stay for the paddle raise or raffle. The tap wall is built-in programming.
Auction and Check-In Space
Booths and high-tops work for registration, merch, and silent auction boards. HDTVs can show the nonprofit’s story.
Private When the Program Needs It
Semi-private keeps the public in the rest of the bar. A full buyout is the whole place. Request a quote with your date and guest count and we will confirm the details.
Parking for Ticket Holders
A large lot on Mills Ave is easier to put on an Eventbrite page than “garage nearby.”
Who This Charity Fundraiser Venue Is For
This room is for 21+ nonprofit fundraising nights: annual galas that want a younger feel, after-parties that follow a formal dinner somewhere else, donor happy hours, and ticketed tap takeovers that benefit a cause.
It is not a banquet hall for a seated 200-person gala, and it is not a family festival. If the fundraiser includes minors, choose another site. If you need a late after-party once a hotel program ends, this page still applies, as does our live music and DJ page.
Larger social groups who are not fundraising can look at large group outings.
Hotel Charity Gala
- Set catering packages you did not choose
- Guests sit for a long program
- Energy drops after dessert
Pour Choice Fundraiser
- BYO food, drinks already in house
- Guests move between taps, patio, and auction
- A night people buy tickets to attend
How to Plan a Fundraiser at Pour Choice
Planning is straightforward. Semi-private sections reserve part of the main bar. Request a quote with your date and guest count and we will confirm the details. Open to the public Wednesday to Sunday. Monday and Tuesday are for private events.
Step 1: Send the organization name, date, and ticket target
We will tell you if the headcount fits 91 inside plus patio. Open to the public Wednesday to Sunday. Monday and Tuesday are for private events.
Step 2: Decide if you need the public out of the room
Semi-private works for casual donor nights. Ticketed galas usually want a private buyout so only ticket holders are inside.
Step 3: Share your date and headcount for a Friday buyout
Request a quote with your date and guest count and we will confirm the details. This page does not list event prices.
Step 4: Bring catering and your own program gear
Food, auction lots, pull-up banners, and a DJ if you want one. We handle the taps and the room.
21+ ticketed events only
Every guest must be 21 or older. If your fundraiser is a family day, this is the wrong venue. Open to the public Wednesday to Sunday. Monday and Tuesday are for private events.
A Fundraiser With a Reason to Stay
The quiet failure of many charity nights is the exit after the ask. When the drinks are interesting and guests can pour what they want, they linger. Lingering is when last raffle tickets sell.
Self-pour also gives sponsors something visual. A tap wall photographs better than a banquet table, which helps the recap post your development team needs the next morning.
If you want a band or DJ, say so in the inquiry. The room is already set up for that. If you want it quiet for speeches, we can talk through timing before the room gets loud.
Bring Your Own Food. Bring Any Caterer.
Nonprofit catering should fit the ticket price. Bring a caterer or order from walkable Mills 50 restaurants.
