GODORT 2024 reception ideas?
Sklar, Annelise
Hi friends,
I got tapped to serve on the GODORT local arrangements committee for ALA 2024, and I thought this was a good hive mind to tap for ideas of locations for the reception. Ideally, this would be somewhere downtown, within walking distance from the convention center. A really great place not far from a blue line trolley stop might be a good option, too.
The San Diego Public Library already came up, but it looks like it’s pretty pricey, and I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s already booked. Azalea – do you have any insights on this?
I’ve just emailed UCSD Park & Market for pricing.
Judith, have you come across any downtown breweries with good reception/event space?
And Mike and Kelly – as past treasurer and member of the Awards Committee, do you have insight on the reception (and why there doesn’t seem to be any sponsors any more)?
Thanks for any ideas you all might have!
Annelise

Due to the high rents near the convention center and the need for lots of space for actual brewing, most of the 'breweries' near the Center are small tap rooms and pretty cramped. I don't know how big the group might be since it has been a long time for me at ALA, but some taprooms might be amenable to closing to the public for the reception if they don't have a separate space. Something else to think about is the reception food. Some places have agreements with local food trucks which you might be able to piggyback on as very few will have kitchens.You might be able to schedule a tour of the brewing space if they are an on-site brewery. I have noted where cocktails are available for those who do not want beer. Most places also have non-alcoholic choices besides water as well.
That said, here is the list of the ones that might be possible with some comments. I have sorted by approximate distance from the CC based on driving. Walking distance could easily be shorter since the streets around the CC are wonky for cars. If driving isn't an issue (use the trolley, etc.) that could expand options.
Approximately 1 mile:
Bay City Brewing 627 8th Ave. I haven't been to the East Village location. It does have a rooftop bar with cocktails, a kitchen, and can book private events. https://baycitybrewingco.com/visit/tasting-room/
Approximately 2-2.5 miles (Columbia/Little Italy) so I don't see anyone walking there in the evening:
Ballast Point Brewing 2215 India St. They have outside spaces available for events and kitchen. I believe this is beer only. https://ballastpoint.com/location/littleitaly/
Burgeon Beer 1326 Kettner. Space is rather small with other alcohol options as well as kitchen. https://burgeonbeer.com/pages/the-arbor
Little Miss Brewing 545 Park. Haven't been to this location, but the decor in the ones I have been to is always a bit unfinished and the spaces are small. No food that I am aware of. https://littlemissbrewing.com/
Resident Brewing 1065 4th St. (located in the Local.) Have never been there so don't know what is available but hear it is small. https://residentbrewing.com/
