Private events & venues
Private events at The Mellow SF
Rent either San Francisco venue outright for your own celebration, or build your night around one of our two signature experiences.
Rent the room
A private celebration, at either venue
Birthdays, anniversaries, a milestone lunch: rent either space outright and bring your own occasion.
On Haight Street
We handle the bar or the coffee bar, the sound, and a performer if you want one. Bring your own caterer for food.
At the boathouse
We handle the performer, the space, and the beer and wine. Bring your own caterer for food.
Good for birthdays, anniversaries, a celebration, a milestone lunch, any private party that isn’t a team night. Rent the room, and we take care of the drinks and the music; you bring the cake, the caterer, and the guest list.

Or, let us plan it
A private evening does what an offsite agenda can’t
Culture, not a conference room
A night out as a team, away from the office, with no agenda and no slides.
One call, not ten vendors
We handle the space and every drink, music too if you want it, so you’re not chasing down separate bookings.
Places people talk about
A Haight Street venue and a boathouse in Golden Gate Park, both made for an occasion.
