Almost none gives you numbers, because the venues themselves rarely print them. So on September 28, 2026 we read the private-events, reservations and hours pages on the websites of twenty-two bars within a sixteen-minute walk of our door, and held our own room at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/sports-bar-in-the-west-village\/\">118 Christopher Street<\/a> to the same test.<\/p>\n<p>The honest headline is in the hero: four venues print a price, seven print a capacity, and we print neither. What we do print is every drink price on our menu and the words &#8220;private parties and corporate events of any size&#8221;, and we say below exactly what that is worth to you and what it is not.<\/p>\n<nav class=\"tbg-toc\" aria-label=\"On this page\">\n<p>On this page<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"#short\">The short answer<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#printed\">What each venue prints<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#prices\">The four that print a price<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#rooms\">Rooms you can actually close<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#ours\">Our room, honestly<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#hours\">Closing times for the late crowd<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#warnings\">Before you book: four warnings<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#holiday-party\">Holiday parties in December<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#finder\">Find your room<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#methodology\">How we checked<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#verdict\">The verdict<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#sources\">Sources and references<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/nav>\n<div class=\"tbg-short\" id=\"short\">\n<strong>Short answer<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For a priced package, Dante West Village at 551 Hudson Street prints $35 or $45 a person per hour for parties of eight or more, and Houston Hall at 222 West Houston Street prints $100 to $150 a person for 20 to 110 guests with a two-hour minimum.<\/p>\n<p>For a named room with a printed capacity, White Horse Tavern at 567 Hudson Street lists two 30-person rooms and a 100-person main bar, and Hudson Hound at 575 Hudson Street a 40-person room that is not offered on Fridays or Saturdays.<\/p>\n<p>For a whole bar, TALEA at 102 Christopher Street prints buyouts from $5,000 and Cellar Dog at 75 Christopher Street takes parties of 20 to 275.

Christmas Day is itself a Friday, and Christmas Eve and New Year&#8217;s Eve both fall on Thursdays.

Bayard&#8217;s recommended budget of $110 a person comes to $3,300. Dante&#8217;s Classic package, beer, wine and house spirits at $35 a person per hour, is $70 a person for two hours, or $2,100 for drinks alone. None of the three pages says whether tax or gratuity is included, and none of these figures is a quote.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our room in December.<\/strong> The Beer Garage at 118 Christopher Street takes a holiday party the way it takes any party: call 646-490-4301 or email BeerGarageBK@gmail.com.

Where a site says nothing about private hire, the table says so. Where a site could not be reached, the venue is in the warnings and nowhere else.<\/p>\n<p>We did not use review sites, listing platforms or press for any venue&#8217;s terms; press is cited once, to document a closure. For our own room we used our homepage and our public online ordering menu.<\/p>\n<p>Walks were measured in Google Maps walking mode from 118 Christopher Street to each door. No venue paid to appear, and our own row is held to the same rule as everyone else&#8217;s, which is why it says &#8220;not printed&#8221; twice.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tbg-cta\">\n<h2>A heated garden, 37 taps and a drinks list you can price today<\/h2>\n<p>The Beer Garage West Village, 118 Christopher Street, New York, NY 10014. Private parties and corporate events of any size; tell us the date, the headcount and the budget, and we will quote in writing.<\/p>\n<div class=\"tbg-btns\">\n<a class=\"tbg-btn tbg-red\" href=\"mailto:BeerGarageBK@gmail.com\">Email about an event<\/a><br \/>\n<a class=\"tbg-btn tbg-steel\" href=\"tel:+16464904301\">Call 646-490-4301<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<p>Need a gluten-free spread? That is our Brooklyn room at 148 5th Avenue in Park Slope, 718-576-3409, whose two party packages are printed on its booking listing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<h3>What are some cool spots for private events in the West Village?<\/h3>\n<p>It depends on what you need in writing. For a printed price, Dante West Village at 551 Hudson Street ($35 or $45 a person per hour) and Houston Hall at 222 West Houston Street ($100 to $150 a person). For a room with a printed capacity, White Horse Tavern at 567 Hudson Street (two 30-person rooms, a 100-person bar) and Hudson Hound at 575 Hudson Street (40). For a buyout, TALEA at 102 Christopher Street, Cellar Dog at 75 Christopher Street and the Standard Biergarten.<\/p>\n<p>The Beer Garage at 118 Christopher Street hosts events of any size with a heated garden, quoted by email. All read from each venue&#8217;s own site on September 28, 2026.<\/p>\n<h3>Which West Village bars publish private event prices?<\/h3>\n<p>Four of the twenty-three we read. Dante West Village prints $35 or $45 a person per hour for parties of eight or more. Houston Hall prints $100 to $150 a person by room and a $1,200 minimum per communal table. TALEA prints a minimum spend from $1,500 and buyouts from $5,000, company-wide. Bayard&#8217;s Ale House prints a recommended budget of $110 a person. Everyone else, The Beer Garage included, prices on inquiry.<\/p>\n<h3>Which West Village bars have a private room?<\/h3>\n<p>By their own sites: White Horse Tavern (the Dylan Thomas Room and the Back Parlor Room, 30 standing or 20 seated each), Hudson Hound (a private room for up to 40, not on Fridays or Saturdays), Houston Hall (the VIP Tap Room for 20 to 30), Off The Wagon (the Balcony), 3 Sheets Saloon (the Lido Deck) and Down the Hatch (a semi-private Back Room). The Spaniard says it has multiple private rooms without naming them.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I book The Beer Garage in the West Village for a private party?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. Our homepage says we host private parties and corporate events of any size; email BeerGarageBK@gmail.com or call 646-490-4301 with the date, the headcount and the budget. We do not yet print a capacity or a package for this room, though our drinks are all priced on our public menu and the backyard garden is heated. Our Park Slope room prints two packages on its booking listing.<\/p>\n<h3>Which West Village venue takes the biggest party?<\/h3>\n<p>By printed capacity, the Standard Biergarten at 848 Washington Street, at 200 seated or 400 standing, then Cellar Dog at 75 Christopher Street at parties of 20 to 275, then TALEA at 102 Christopher Street at buyouts of 100 to 200. White Horse Tavern&#8217;s Main Bar and Bayard&#8217;s Ale House each print about 100 to 110.<\/p>\n<h3>Which West Village bars stay open late for a private event?<\/h3>\n<p>By their own printed hours, Employees Only, Kettle of Fish, Down the Hatch, Off The Wagon and The Stonewall Inn close at 4:00 AM every night, and Arthur&#8217;s Tavern, Cellar Dog, Bayard&#8217;s, Wilfie &amp; Nell, The Spaniard, 3 Sheets and Cubbyhole reach 4:00 AM on Friday and Saturday. The Beer Garage closes at 11:00 PM on weeknights and midnight on Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n<h3>What is a good holiday party venue in the West Village?<\/h3>\n<p>Houston Hall at 222 West Houston Street is the one West Village room with a holiday party page: tables for groups of 20, a VIP Tap Room for 20 to 30 and the Back Half for 50 to 110, with a two-hour minimum and two to three weeks&#8217; notice. Bayard&#8217;s Ale House suggests a budget of $110 a person for up to 110 guests, and Dante prices drinks at $35 or $45 a person per hour. The Beer Garage at 118 Christopher Street quotes by phone or email and has a heated backyard garden. All read October 18, 2026.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"verdict\">The verdict<\/h2>\n<p>The cool spots for private events in the West Village are not short on character; they are short on numbers. Four of twenty-three print a price and seven print a capacity, and the rest ask you to write. If you want the figure before the email, go to Dante or Houston Hall. If you want a door, go to White Horse Tavern or Hudson Hound.<\/p>\n<p>If you want a heated garden, 37 taps and a drinks bill you can add up from a public menu, write to us at 118 Christopher Street, and we will put the rest in writing too.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources and references<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>The Beer Garage, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.beergarageny.com\/\">beergarageny.com<\/a> (private parties line, garden, hours) and our <a href=\"https:\/\/order.toasttab.com\/online\/the-beer-garage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">online ordering menu<\/a> (drink and happy hour prices), read September 28, 2026.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dante-nyc.com\/wv\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Dante West Village packages<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dante-nyc.com\/celebrate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\">Celebrate page<\/a>;
