Private events · January 2027
Base Camp January: rental's on us.
January is our quiet month, so we're giving the room away. Book a private event in the Stern for any day in January and there's no space or rental fee. Post-holiday parties, team kickoffs, birthdays, club nights. Book by December 15.
Book by Dec 15 · No rental fee
$0 rental
The space fee is waived for every January event, any day of the week. Up to 60 guests in the Stern during regular hours, or the whole cidery as an after-hours buyout for bigger groups.
Dry January friendly
Non-alcoholic drinks count toward your bar minimum, including Prohibition, our 0% sparkling apple cider. Nobody has to drink for your group to hit it.

Good to know
What exactly is waived?
The space fee (normally $150–250 in the Stern) or the rental on an after-hours buyout. The bar minimum still applies, and non-alcoholic drinks count toward it.
Which days can I book?
Any day in January 2027 except Saturday, Jan 16, which is our Wassail. Weeknights have the most open dates.
What does "book by December 15" mean?
Send your inquiry and confirm your date by December 15, 2026. The event itself can be any day in January.
Can I bring food?
Yes. We don't have a kitchen, so groups bring catering or we line up one of our food trucks for you.
How do I book?
Fill out the form with your date and headcount. We reply with a quote, usually within a business day, and hold the date while you decide.
