A Versatile Corporate Event Space in the Heart of Orlando
Finding the right venue for a corporate event in Orlando is not as simple as booking the first place with enough chairs. The venue sets the tone. It determines whether your event feels stiff and forgettable or relaxed and memorable. It influences whether people engage or stand in the corner watching the clock. And for most corporate events, the ideal venue strikes a balance: professional enough to represent your brand well, but interesting enough that your guests actually enjoy themselves.
Pour Choice Taphouse in Orlando's Mills 50 District is that kind of venue. We are not a conference center. We are not a banquet hall. We are a modern, vibrant taphouse with 50 rotating self-pour taps, a full liquor bar, multiple HDTVs, space for DJ or live music, and the flexibility to bring in any caterer you want. Our space accommodates up to 91 guests inside, with a large outdoor area for even bigger gatherings. Whether you are planning a quarterly meeting, a client appreciation event, a product launch, or a company celebration, Pour Choice offers a setting that is polished, unique, and genuinely enjoyable for everyone in the room.
We are located at 1225 N Mills Ave, Orlando, FL 32803, in the heart of the Mills 50 District. This puts us close to downtown Orlando and Ivanhoe Village, with a large shared parking lot and free street parking available for your guests.

Corporate Events That Work at Pour Choice
One of the things that sets Pour Choice apart from traditional corporate event venues is how many different types of events work well in our space. The combination of self-pour taps, a full bar, HDTVs, BYO food flexibility, and a modern atmosphere means you can shape the event to match almost any corporate occasion.
Client Appreciation Events
When you want to thank your best clients and strengthen those relationships, the venue matters. A generic restaurant dinner is fine, but it is also forgettable. Bringing your clients to a place with 50 self-pour taps, an RFID wristband system, and the freedom to explore craft beer, hard seltzer, cider, and cocktails on tap gives them a memorable experience. It shows that you put thought into the event and chose something unique. The interactive format naturally encourages conversation, and the relaxed atmosphere makes it easy for business relationships to deepen into genuine personal connections.
Quarterly Meetings and Company Updates
Not every corporate event is a party. Sometimes you need a space where you can deliver a presentation or run through quarterly results before transitioning into a social gathering. Pour Choice handles both. Use our multiple HDTVs to display your slides or company video for the business portion of the event. Once the formal part is over, your team naturally shifts into social mode as they head to the tap wall and start exploring. It is a smooth transition from professional to casual, all in the same venue, without needing to pack up and move to a different location.
Product Launches and Announcements
Launching a new product or making a big company announcement? The energy at Pour Choice matches the excitement of a launch event. Use the HDTVs to reveal the product or display marketing materials. The self-pour taps become part of the celebration, giving guests something fun to do while they discuss the announcement. And because you can bring your own catering, you can match the food to the theme of the launch without being limited by a venue kitchen.
Company Celebrations and Award Ceremonies
Whether you are celebrating a record quarter, honoring top performers, or marking a company milestone, Pour Choice provides a setting that feels celebratory without being overly formal. The space has the right energy for a party. The self-pour taps keep things interactive and fun. The full liquor bar ensures that champagne toasts and specialty cocktails are part of the celebration. And with space for a DJ or live music, you can set the soundtrack for the evening.
Welcome Events for New Hires
Making new employees feel welcome is critical, and the venue for a welcome event plays a big role. The self-pour taps at Pour Choice serve as an instant icebreaker. New hires and existing team members end up standing next to each other at the tap wall, comparing picks and making recommendations. It is an organic way to help new people integrate into the team, and it is far more effective than sitting across from each other at a long table.
Retirement Celebrations and Farewell Gatherings
When a valued colleague retires or moves on to a new chapter, they deserve a celebration that matches the impact they had. Pour Choice gives you a space that feels special without being stuffy. Use the HDTVs for a slideshow of career highlights. Let the guest of honor explore 50 taps and find their new favorite drink. Bring in catering from their favorite restaurant. It is the kind of send-off that feels personal and thoughtful.
🍽️ Complete Catering Freedom
Most corporate event venues lock you into a fixed catering menu or a short list of approved vendors. Not Pour Choice. Guests can bring their own food or hire any caterer they want. This gives you total control over the food experience at your corporate event. Bring in a high-end caterer for a client appreciation dinner. Order pizza and wings for a casual team celebration. Arrange for a food truck to serve gourmet tacos for a product launch. You decide what fits your event, your brand, and your budget. There are no markups, no restrictions, and no compromises on quality.
Professional Yet Relaxed Atmosphere
One of the trickiest things about planning a corporate event is finding a venue that threads the needle between professional and enjoyable. Too formal, and nobody relaxes. Too casual, and it does not feel like it represents your company well. Pour Choice hits that sweet spot. The space is modern, clean, and well-maintained. The tap wall and full bar add visual interest and sophistication. The Mills 50 District location gives the event a sense of place and neighborhood character. Your guests will feel comfortable whether they are wearing business attire or smart casual.
The self-pour system also contributes to the atmosphere. There is something inherently engaging about walking up to a wall of 50 taps and choosing your own pour. It gives people a sense of agency and exploration. Even guests who are not big drinkers enjoy browsing the options, trying a small sample of a cider, and being part of the interactive experience. The result is a room full of people who are moving, talking, laughing, and genuinely having a good time.
HDTVs, DJ, and Live Music
Corporate events often have both a formal component and a social component. Pour Choice makes it easy to handle both. Our multiple HDTVs are perfect for the business side of your event. Display a presentation deck, play a company video, show a year-in-review slideshow, or broadcast award nominees. The screens are positioned throughout the venue so your content is visible from multiple vantage points, which is important when your guests are spread across the space rather than seated in rows.
When the business portion wraps up and it is time to celebrate, we have space for a DJ or live music. We can also help secure talent if you need a recommendation. Whether you want a low-key background playlist to set the mood or a full DJ setup to turn the evening into a dance party, the space can handle it. The transition from presentation to party is seamless because it all happens in the same venue.
Some companies use the HDTVs throughout the entire event. A photo slideshow of company memories playing in the background adds a personal touch that guests appreciate. Others use the screens for trivia games or live polls that get people interacting. The flexibility is what makes Pour Choice such a strong option for corporate events that need to serve multiple purposes.
Bring Your Own Food. Bring Any Caterer.
You are never locked into a set menu or an overpriced catering package. Bring a food truck, order trays from your favorite restaurant, set up a taco bar, or hire a professional caterer. The food is entirely your call, and that flexibility is one of the biggest reasons groups choose Pour Choice for their events.
A Space That Works for Your Group Size
Pour Choice Taphouse has an indoor capacity of 91 people, with a large outdoor space available for bigger gatherings. This makes us suitable for everything from a focused 20-person client dinner to a large 80-person company celebration.
The open layout of the venue is one of its strengths for corporate events. Rather than a single room with rows of chairs, our space encourages movement and interaction. Guests flow between the self-pour tap wall, the full liquor bar, seating areas, and the outdoor space. This natural circulation means people do not get stuck in one spot all evening. Different conversations form and reform throughout the event, which is exactly what you want when the goal is networking, team bonding, or relationship building.
For events that require a more defined structure, we can discuss private and semi-private configurations. Whether you need the entire venue for your group or a designated section within the space, we will work with you to create the right setup for your event goals and headcount.
"We hosted our year-end company celebration here and it was exactly what we needed. The self-pour taps were a huge conversation starter, the space looked great, and the fact that we could bring our own caterer made the whole thing easy to plan and budget. Highly recommend for any corporate event."
How to Plan Your Corporate Event at Pour Choice
Step 1: Get in Touch
Start by filling out the inquiry form at the bottom of this page. Tell us about the type of corporate event you are planning, your estimated guest count, your preferred date, and any special needs. We will respond quickly and start the conversation about how to make your event a success.
Step 2: Choose Your Format
One of the best things about Pour Choice is that the space adapts to your needs. Want a 30-minute presentation followed by two hours of socializing? We can set that up with our HDTVs and self-pour taps. Want a relaxed evening of mingling and craft beer exploration with no formal agenda? That works too. Need a hybrid event with a business component, a sit-down meal from your caterer, and a DJ to close out the night? We have done that and it was a great time. Tell us your vision and we will help you figure out the logistics.
Step 3: Arrange Your Food
Since guests can bring their own food or hire any caterer they want, the food is entirely in your hands. This is one of the biggest advantages of hosting a corporate event at Pour Choice. You are not paying inflated venue catering prices, and you are not limited to a menu designed by someone who does not know your group. Choose food that fits your event style, your guests' preferences, and your budget. Some companies go all out with a premium caterer. Others keep it casual with trays from a local favorite. Both approaches work perfectly.
Step 4: Add Entertainment
The self-pour taps provide the primary entertainment, but you can layer on additional elements to customize the experience. A DJ or live music transforms the atmosphere for celebrations and parties. The HDTVs can display presentations, slideshows, or company content. Some event planners bring their own trivia games, photo booths, or award props. The space is flexible enough to accommodate whatever you want to add.
Step 5: Enjoy Your Event
On the day of the event, your guests arrive, pick up their RFID wristbands, and start exploring. The tap wall draws people in immediately. The full liquor bar handles everyone who prefers cocktails or wine. Your catering is set up and ready. And from there, the event flows naturally. Because the self-pour system keeps people engaged and the space encourages movement, you do not have to worry about keeping everyone entertained. The venue does the work.
