3 SPOTS TO HOST YOUR seasonal parties

The holidays seem to come earlier every year. So if you’re not already planning your year-end festivities, you’re late to the party. The Tennessee Valley is full of spots to host your private holiday affair. Here are a few to check out before it’s too late.

FEED CO.’S EVENT SPACE

features a private entrance, bar, menu and patio, as well as an audio system and three 70-inch smart TVs. Between its exposed brick walls and heartwood pine community-style tables, the venue’s mood is rustic, yet still elegant. Its 2,200 square feet accommodates parties up to 120 people. Call 423-708-8500 to check availability.

DARI DIP’S PRIVATE BANQUET HALL

seats 50. Parties of less than 25 are welcome to order off the diner’s menu, boasting dozens of down-home favorites such as fried chicken livers and countryfried steak. Parties of 25 or more are encouraged to pre-order their meals off the menu or opt for a custom buffet-style meal — a popular option for private parties.

FORBIDDEN CITY

is now taking reservations for holiday party groups. The restaurant’s enormous space features four private dining areas, each capable of accommodating over 100 guests. Private diners have access to Forbidden City’s expansive all-you-can-eat options, along with its full bar. Best of all, the areas are free to reserve.
