Rent the full space, or add a guided floral, pottery, lamp-making, painting, or sound bath experience your team will actually remember. In-studio or on-site at your workplace. Perfect for teams of 20 to 60 — a real offsite, not another conference room, with an optional sound bath or hands-on workshop

The reason a Bat Haus booking costs a fraction of a full-service venue isn't that we cut corners — it's that you're not paying catering markups, corkage, or minimums for 100 guests you don't have. You bring the food and drinks you actually want, and keep the savings.
