Top 5 Group Dining Rooms and Event Spaces in Florida
Planning a special event for your favorite group of people? Ensuring their dining experience is a memorable one is as simple as two steps: find the right group dining venue and reserve the right transportation service.
Luckily, Falcon Charter Bus is here to help you with both! Here are just a few top-rated group dining rooms that a charter bus rental can service:
Rusty Pelican
MIAMI, KEY BISCAYNE
Nothing says Miami dining quite like seafood and a cocktail—and this eatery delivers on both fronts. Reserve one of the large patio spaces for up to 210 guests, sit back with a drink and an order of lobster risotto or grilled octopus, and enjoy views of the Miami skyline across Biscayne Bay.
Be warned: Rusty Pelican does have a private parking lot, but it often gets packed on busy nights. Rather than having your dinner guests hail a cab to the restaurant or stress over parking, rent a bus so a professional driver can handle all the logistics for you. Upon request, your minibus shuttle or charter bus rental can drop everyone off within walking distance of the entrance, right on time for your dinner reservation.
Sergio’s
MIAMI, COCONUT GROVE
Traveling in by bus from Orlando? Sergio’s is an excellent choice for out-of-town visitors seeking authentic Cuban cuisine. This local restaurant chain boasts multiple locations across the city, including many private dining rooms and a trendy rooftop bar specializing in Miami-style tapas. After a long day of networking with your fellow corporate event attendees, everyone will savor the chance to kick back with a plate of croquetas and tostones rellenos and a mojito or two.
If your fellow diners are planning to pair their food with alcoholic drinks, a reliable DD is a must. Luckily, your Falcon Charter Bus driver will be a certified professional with a clean driving record and plenty of experience to expedite your time between destinations. You can rest easy knowing everyone will have a dependable ride home when you rent a shuttle bus service for your boozy group dining experience!
American Social
FORT LAUDERDALE, LAS OLAS BOULEVARD
When game day brings your fan club, alumni group, or sporty crew into Fort Lauderdale, you don’t want to pass up a dinner reservation at this fun and flexible sports bar! Located in the trendy Las Olas Boulevard district, this down-to-earth eatery offers semi-private use of the main dining room, which includes large comfy couches, a 35-seat bartop, and plenty of TVs tuned to your favorite sports channels. Order from a rotating menu of yummy bar fare, Happy Hour specials, and themed foodie nights for burger lovers and taco enthusiasts.
Worried about making it to dinner on time with all the game day traffic? Leave the driving and navigation to your private Fort Lauderdale charter bus rental, and you’ll always arrive according to the schedule you designate—no pre-set itineraries here! Just let your bus rental representative know where and when your passengers need to be picked up and dropped off, and Falcon Charter Bus can handle the rest.
