Plan a Corporate Happy Hour

Reid's Fine Foods and Suffolk Punch offer corporate happy packages for up to 100 guests that make planning a team outing a breeze. Reserve space at either location so your squad can gather steps away from Symphony Park before SouthPark After Five, then head to the park for an evening of free live music, art experiences, and craft food and drink. Plus, you can pre-purchase event drink tickets so your group can get right to hanging out as soon as they arrive.
