What's your relationship with Somerset?

Somerset is our sister venue! We got so many requests for private events at Somerset, that we created Somerhaus to better accommodate them, while being able to maintain our mission of keeping Somerset an inclusive spot. You can more about Somerset here.

How far in advance should we book a happy hour event?

For corporate happy hours, we recommend booking at least 6-8 weeks in advance. For larger networking events or during busy seasons, 10-12 weeks advance notice ensures you are more likely preferred date and allows time for proper invitation and catering coordination. For late availability it’s still definitely worth it to Contact us.
