Corporate Events That Aren't So Corporate...

With an ever-changing world of events and client entertaining, it’s easy to see why venues are constantly looking at ways in which to offer a unique experience to their guests.
The competitiveness between venues within London that all have their own unique selling points is reaching new levels and as such, bars are now working harder to create spaces within their venues so they can compete with the sites that are only available for exclusive hire.
Networking events are no longer about wearing a 'Hello, my name is...' badge and introducing yourself to the first 50 people you can see (probably within the space of an hour) before you have to run off to another meeting, the office or home to feed the children. Organisers and attendees now want to engage organically with people in a relaxed social setting, in a venue or space that reflects the fun side of the brand they are promoting and it's the bars in this fabulous city that offer this.
Small minimum spends, no venue hire fee and having competitive rates on drinks means hosting an event within a bar or restaurant can ensure that a client’s budget goes a lot further.
At Archer Street we are immensely proud that we take the time and energy to reinvest in our lower ground floor every six months to change the concept. This, in turn allows clients to hold events throughout the year with us but feel like they are being transported to a new destination and also experience something unique each time.
We strive to make private hires and semi exclusive bookings as simple as possible for people and are constantly looking at ways in which to make our offering better.
With the launch of Myki Sand Bar this year we feel that we have hit the nail on the head by being able to offer a space for corporate bookings that are looking for a glamorous setting whilst still maintaining an excitable and energetic atmosphere. So, even if you do have to enterain/ network throughout these summer evenings at least now you can do it with a refreshing cocktail and the feel of sand under your feet...
