Corporate event at The Back Patio with food carts, bar, indoor dining, and TVs

Corporate Events & Team Building

Ditch the conference room. Host your next company event at Portland's most unique venue — food carts, craft drinks, pinball tournaments, and a garden patio that your team will actually enjoy.

Portland's Most Memorable Corporate Venue

Your team has sat through enough meetings in fluorescent-lit conference rooms. Give them something to talk about at the next all-hands. The Back Patio offers a unique combination of professional amenities and genuine fun — indoor flatscreen TVs for presentations, a craft tap-house for post-meeting drinks, food carts for diverse catering, and a pinball arcade that turns even the most reserved colleague into a competitor.

We've hosted team gatherings, quarterly celebrations, client appreciation events, and team-building sessions where the pinball tournament was the unexpected highlight. The garden patio with fire tables creates a relaxed atmosphere that breaks down barriers and gets people connecting.
