The Ultimate Guide to Work Christmas Parties at Goros

Every office has the same December problem: find a venue that isn't a sad function room, book it before every other office in Sydney does, and hope people actually stay past the first round.

Goros solves all three. Here's how to plan yours.

Why Goros works for a work Christmas party

Most Christmas party venues give you a room and a set menu, and that's it. Goros gives you a full night: yakitori and cocktails in the main bar, private karaoke rooms and vinyl DJs building the energy as the night goes on. It's built for exactly the kind of night a work Christmas party is supposed to be loud enough to feel like an event, contained enough that nobody's disappearing to another bar by 8pm.

It also helps that Goros is walking distance from most of Surry Hills' offices, so nobody's writing off the whole night just to get there.

Karaoke rooms for the team

The easiest way to build a work Christmas party around karaoke at Goros is to book straight into one of the rooms.

• Rooms 1, 2 & 3 - $20pp Tuesday-Thursday and $25pp Friday-Saturday / 90 minutes. Order as you go from the main food and drinks menu, or make it easy with a group menu available for 4 or more people.
• Room 4 - minimum 24 people. Built for a bigger office night out. Get in touch for food and drink options for this room.

That flexibility is what makes karaoke rooms work for a Christmas party specifically – a team of six can book a 90-minute session without committing to a set package, and a bigger floor can take over Room 4 for the night.

Bigger teams: exclusive & semi-private hire

Not every office Christmas party fits neatly into a karaoke room, and Goros is built for that too - spaces for 4 to 400, shared or exclusive, with set menus and packages that make it easy. Whether it's a team of 10 taking a corner of the main bar or the whole company taking over the venue, get in touch with your numbers and the team will put together what fits.

Food & drinks for the table

If you're not going the karaoke-room route, the main bar handles a work Christmas party just as well. Yakitori over charcoal, best met with a cocktail, keeps the table ordering all night. Snacks like karaage, gyoza and tempura corn are built for sharing across a big group, with sashimi for anyone after something lighter. On the drinks side, house-canned cocktails and exclusively Japanese tap beers (Asahi, Suntory Malt, Orion) mean the bar can move fast even when the whole office turns up at once.

How many people can you fit

Karaoke Rooms 1–3 suit smaller teams of up to 7 or 8  booking a 90-minute session, Room 4 is built for 24 or more, and beyond that, Goros can host exclusive or semi-private events for groups up to 400. Whatever the headcount, get in touch and the team will work out what fits.

When to book

December fills up fast, and not just at Goros - every venue in Surry Hills is chasing the same six weeks of office parties. The earlier you lock in a date, the more choice you'll have on room, timing and format. If your office Christmas party is non-negotiable on a specific date, aim to book by early November at the latest.

How to book

Get in touch with your preferred date, guest numbers and format - karaoke room, main bar or exclusive hire - and the team will confirm availability and sort the details from there. No back-and-forth required.

This year, skip the function room. Bring the office to Goros instead.
