Somerset Events.
Please check out the following page to see if your gathering would fit into one of the following types.
Somerset is good for formal gatherings where you don’t need exclusive use of the space (except possibly outside business hours).
Our sister location Somerhaus is best for larger gatherings where you want Somerset vibes but a private space for a large group.
Use the form at the bottom of the page to send us your inquiry. We do not pick up event enquiries sent via our contact page or directly to our email address.
Please note we are not accepting cold pitches for music events, DJ nights etc.
Non-profits/Community Groups
Community groups with a social purpose are free to use most of the areas in Somerset for daytime/happy hour events such as meetings, fundraisers etc - either at a discounted rate or free of charge and with no requirements to purchase from the bar.
Reach out to our team and we can block off some space and get you on the calendar.
Garden Spaces
You can reserve some of our garden spaces for smaller groups.
The point of offering this service is simply to make sure you can get the specific spot your group wants. We are just a bar, though, so you’ll need to work around our terms:
You must arrive within an hour of opening (so we aren’t leaving space unused that locals could utilize).
We only take one booking for each space per day, and your booking covers you until you leave.
There is a minimum guest number for each space (shown on reservation page)
There is a reservation fee which just covers the space.
Not all spaces are available every day. We want to leave plenty of space for locals.

To book multiple spaces at once reach out to our team.
Our lounge bar is reservable Monday - Friday evenings for private parties of 20-45 people.
It can accommodate 30 seated, almost 50 with standing room.
Reservations for the lounge are held at a rate of $400 for the evening.
All reservations for the Lounge must arrive by 7pm or earlier but otherwise there is not a time limit, the room is yours as long as you occupy it til close. Arrival after 7pm will result in a forfeit of reservation without refund.
Please note that this bar is not typically staffed or open for service during the week - if you’d like private bartending service it is available for an additional fee which goes directly to the bar staff.
Catering is welcome! If you’d like to purchase catering through our food truck we require a 2 weeks notice, but outside food is welcomed as well. We are able to provide one 6ft folding table to accommodate catering, otherwise there is not loads of available table space. You are of course welcome to reach out with any questions

Private Parties in our Lounge
You are welcome to host your meetup group at Somerset. If you are a group of over say 25 you may want to reach out to see if there is any special accommodation that might need to be made, otherwise just turn up!
Meetup Groups
Large Events
Somerset can sometimes be used for large events, such as weddings, office parties etc, before 4pm any day except Sundays.
We do not book the entire place out (or even just the entire garden) during open hours, as our primary purpose is to be a neighborhood space. We want the place accessible and usable to locals without disappointment.
Please reach out with any questions or to make a booking enquiry.
In the email please provide:
1. Date & day of week
2. Start/end time
3. Expected # guests
4. Type of event (party, wedding, fundraiser etc)
Note that our sister location Somerhaus is more suitable for larger events where you need a private space, and is available for instant booking :)
Event Inquiry Form
We realize this form is a bit long winded, but we get dozens of enquiries and don’t have a lot of time to reply to everyone, so furnishing these details up front will let us know whether we can help you or not much more quickly than if we have to follow up with questions :)
