12 Shots of Christmas

I dropped by the bar across the street to judge capacity/interest, and talked to the bartender. He also happens to be the owner's son, and he said their "license doesn't allow them to shut the bar down". So they can't do a private party. He also didn't appear interested in even talking about it, so the license issue may be moot.

Unfortunate.

I've been looking around, but there don't seem to be any good alternatives that are close to my place. The location hunt is back on.
