The Dark Horse Tavern and Cannery Music Hall where we held last years Holiday Party and this year’s Annual Meeting has unfortunately been sold.
So, that means finding a new location for both events.
The board had a couple of ideas for the Holiday Party venue – and wanted some input from YOU! Holiday Party date has been set for December 1, 2018
Honest Weight Brewery, 131 W Main St, Unit 104, Orange, MA 01364:
- Fees: no rental fee, limited seating
- Outside food: Food would be partially paid for by NEBS – a protein or two and the remainder would be POTLUCK
- Alcohol: Beer on site; no outside beverages; you would pay for your own alcohol
- Area/capacity: Can rope off a small area for about 30 ppl – There is loading dock area that has a garage door that opens which can be utilized
- Brewery video
OR
The Smoke Shop, 325 Assembly Row, Somerville, MA 02145:
- Fees: $25 – $30++ PER PERSON to include access to the full buffet plus tax and tip – PAID by you, not covered by NEBS.
- Outside food: No
- Alcohol: no outside beverages; you would pay for own alcohol
- Capacity: They will need a GUARANTEED count of approximately 30 people
- Kids – pricing to be determined.
OR
Valley Springs, 65 Valley Road North Grosevenordale, CT 06255:
- ** This is HIGHLY likely to be the location of the Annual Meeting
- Fees: $225 – Hall rental is $150 and Kitchen fee $75 (to use the kitchen) and a refundable $50 cleaning fee
- Outside food: yes, can bring in food
- Alcohol: Bartender fee is $10/hour; people would pay for their own alcohol

Another recommendation?
There were multiple locations researched, however most want a large room rental fee. Some also required a minimum food and beverage charge with the fee.
If you have a recommendation – please email directly to Teresa at tmilano@nebs.org or Tom at tryan@nebs.org – and please include all details of rental.
