Christmas Party Venue in Orlando: Celebrate the Season Your Way
Christmas is supposed to feel special. Too many Orlando Christmas parties end up in the same hotel ballroom with the same buffet and the same playlist. Guests show up out of obligation, make polite small talk, and leave early. Your Christmas party deserves better.
Located at 1225 N Mills Ave in Orlando's vibrant Mills 50 District, Pour Choice Taphouse is a Christmas party venue built for fun. We feature 50 rotating self-pour taps of craft beer, hard seltzer, cider, and cocktails on tap, plus a full liquor bar. Guests pour their own drinks with RFID wristbands and pay by the ounce. You can bring your own food or hire any outside caterer. We have space for a DJ or live music, capacity for up to 91 guests inside plus a large outdoor area, and shared lot plus free street parking.
Whether you are planning a friends Christmas party, a family adult celebration, or a festive December gathering, Pour Choice gives you the drinks, the vibe, and the flexibility to make Christmas feel like Christmas again.
Why Your Christmas Party Belongs at Pour Choice
A festive, flexible alternative to hotel ballrooms and generic party rooms.
Festive Without the Formula
A self-pour taphouse with 50 rotating taps turns a Christmas party into an experience. Guests explore drinks, mingle, and stay engaged instead of sitting through a formal dinner they forget by January.
Bring Any Food or Caterer
Bring your own food or hire any outside catering vendor you want. Holiday trays, Christmas cookies, taco bars, restaurant catering, or a potluck. You control the menu and the budget. No mandatory venue catering packages.
DJ and Holiday Playlists
Space for a DJ or live music, and we can help secure talent. Christmas classics, dance hits, or a live acoustic set. You set the soundtrack.
Full Liquor Bar
Not everyone wants beer. Our full liquor bar covers wine, spirits, and holiday cocktails alongside the 50 taps so every guest is happy.
Buyouts Depend on Day and Availability
Full venue buyouts and semi-private setups are available depending on the day and our calendar. Options vary. Submit the inquiry form and we will confirm what works for your Christmas date.
Multiple HDTVs
Display Christmas graphics, photo slideshows, Ugly Sweater Contest results, or festive visuals across our screens.
Why Pour Choice Beats a Typical Christmas Banquet Hall
Orlando is full of Christmas party venues that look interchangeable: banquet rooms, hotel meeting spaces, and restaurant private rooms with fixed menus. Those work for some events. For a Christmas party people actually enjoy, you want energy, choice, and freedom.
At Pour Choice, guests are not trapped at assigned tables. They move, pour, talk, and explore. You are not locked into venue catering. Outside food and catering vendors are welcome. Buyout options for private use vary by day and availability, so the best next step is always an inquiry through our contact form.
Typical Christmas Banquet
- Fixed catering menu and per-person minimums
- Limited drink packages
- Guests seated for most of the night
- Generic holiday decor in a conference room
- Energy fades after dinner
Pour Choice Christmas Party
- Bring food or any outside caterer
- 50 self-pour taps plus full liquor bar
- Guests mingle and explore the tap wall
- Real taphouse vibe in Mills 50
- Party energy that lasts
That flexibility is why Christmas parties at Pour Choice feel different. You handle the food vision. We handle the drinks and the space. Together you get a Christmas celebration that matches your group, not a one-size-fits-all package.
How to Plan a Christmas Party at Pour Choice Taphouse
A strong Christmas party plan covers three things: the right date, the right food, and the right level of privacy. Food can be brought in or catered by any outside vendor. Full buyouts depend on the day and our calendar, so every Christmas booking starts with an inquiry.
Step 1: Inquire Early for December Dates
Christmas season dates fill quickly, especially Fridays and Saturdays. Submit the inquiry form on this page. Our team responds within 24 hours. Even if details are still forming, get on the calendar early.
Step 2: Confirm Buyout or Semi-Private Options
Buyout options vary depending on day and availability. A full venue buyout can give you exclusive indoor use (up to 91 guests) plus outdoor space. Semi-private sections work well for smaller Christmas gatherings. Tell us your date and guest count in the form and we will outline what is available.
Step 3: Bring Food or Hire Outside Catering
You can bring your own food or hire any outside catering vendor. Popular Christmas party food ideas include holiday catering trays, cookie and dessert tables, local restaurant orders, food pop-ups, pizza and apps, or a festive potluck. We handle the drinks. You handle the food.
Step 4: Add Music and Personal Touches
Use our DJ-ready space, holiday playlists, and multiple HDTVs for Christmas visuals, photo loops, or contest graphics. Then show up and celebrate while guests pour from 50 taps and the full bar.
Book Early for Christmas Season
December Fridays and Saturdays book fast. Buyout availability depends on the day. Fill out the inquiry form below with no commitment required. We will respond within 24 hours with options for your Christmas party.
Self-Pour Taps: Built-In Christmas Party Energy
The hardest part of many Christmas parties is keeping people engaged after the main meal. At Pour Choice, the 50 self-pour taps are a built-in activity. Guests walk the tap wall, sample by the ounce with RFID wristbands, and naturally mix with people they do not usually talk to.
It is the ultimate icebreaker for mixed groups of friends, coworkers, or extended family. "What are you pouring?" starts more conversations than forced icebreaker games ever will. Pair that with outside catering of your choice and you have a Christmas party that feels generous, flexible, and fun.
Between craft beer, hard seltzer, cider, cocktails on tap, and the full liquor bar, every guest finds something they love. That variety matters when you are hosting a Christmas party with different ages and tastes in one room.
Christmas Catering Your Way
Build a Christmas feast without a venue food package. Bring trays from a favorite Orlando restaurant, hire any outside caterer for holiday appetizers and desserts, set up a cookie exchange table, or keep it casual with pizza and wings. You choose the menu and the budget. We keep the taps cold and the bar stocked.
Christmas Parties for Every Group Size
Small Gatherings (10 to 30)
Semi-private Christmas parties work great for friend groups, small offices, and intimate adult celebrations. You get a reserved area with full access to the taps and bar while keeping a lively holiday atmosphere.
Mid-Size Parties (30 to 60)
This range fills the room with Christmas energy without overcrowding. Semi-private or larger reserved setups keep your group together while guests still explore freely.
Large Christmas Parties and Buyouts (60 to 91+)
Full venue buyouts for larger Christmas parties depend on day and availability. When available, you can take over the indoor space (up to 91) plus outdoor area for a private Christmas celebration. Inquire through the contact form for your preferred date.
Buyout note: Christmas buyouts are day-specific. Fridays and Saturdays in December are the most competitive. Submit a few preferred dates in the inquiry form so we can confirm private or semi-private options that actually fit your guest count.
