Holiday Parties with a Twist

The holidays are approaching, and it’s time to start planning that end-of-year team celebration. But why settle for another office potluck or traditional sit-down dinner? South Lake Union offers plenty of ways to bring coworkers together, from friendly competition and interactive entertainment to a relaxing evening on the water.

Here are three unique neighborhood spots to make this year’s holiday gathering one to remember.

Flight Club: Holiday in the Highlands

Trade the conference room for the oche at Flight Club (300 Westlake Avenue North), where traditional darts get a modern makeover. This holiday season, the popular social darts destination is introducing Holiday in the Highlands, a Scottish-inspired celebration running from November through mid-January.

The festive experience transforms Flight Club with seasonal décor that leans into rich tartans and evergreen accents. Holiday menus feature everything from turkey sliders and Highland steak skewers to seafood towers, while specialty cocktails like the Scotch-based Scottish Hearth bring a taste of the Highlands to the bar.

Of course, the main attraction is Social Darts, where interactive multiplayer games and automated scoring that make it easy for everyone to join the fun. For groups of 30 or more, tournament-style play adds another level of friendly competition.

With customizable food and beverage packages, semi-private playing areas, and dedicated event support, Flight Club makes holiday party planning a breeze.

Great Big Game Show: Let the Games Begin

Ever wanted to compete on a TV game show? At Great Big Game Show, your team gets its chance.

Located at 2101 Westlake Avenue, this interactive experience puts participants on a game show set, complete with lights, buzzers, music, and a live host. Teams face off in fast-paced challenges testing trivia knowledge, strategy, speed, and teamwork.

It’s an entertaining way to bring out your coworkers’ competitive sides while creating plenty of memorable moments.

Waterways Cruises: Celebrate on the Water

For a holiday gathering with a view, take the celebration aboard Waterways Cruises & Events.

Waterways offers private yacht charters featuring dining, drinks, and spectacular views of Seattle’s skyline.
