Celebrating a holiday party with your work crew is a great opportunity to get gussied up, enjoy a delicious meal with your colleagues, and toast to the end of another great year. Since Austin is one of our favorite places to host a party, we’re sharing the best spots to deck the halls and toast to the new year. There’s a Japanese farmhouse-style restaurant in Hyde Park, a bold boutique hotel in SoCo, and a modern art museum that’ll have your team feeling inspired. Looking for a place where you can totally take over and set up a winter wonderland of your own in the heart of downtown ATX? We’ve got a few options for that too. Reporter: Alyssa Brown

You can have the most fun life. It’s not as hard as you might think. To enjoy an extraordinary time in this world, it’s largely a matter of who’s around you, what you have, and where you are. Naturally, the best move on your part, if those things have lined up well, is to throw a party—any kind of party, from cocktail hour to wedding. Alas, seeking out the perfect spot to host the best day/night ever can be a challenge. But that’s where we come in. Truly, we at the Venue Report think that finding a new place to celebrate all that existence has to offer is one of the most exciting things anyone can do. So to keep the good times rolling, we compiled a super-list of sorts, laying out the greatest venue openings of last year and the most exciting ones set for this year. We hope you peruse, explore, and, most of all, have fun!  Want more? 2019's Hottest New Openings Across the Globe is now live →  By: Jake Kilroy | Venue: Light Lab
