Private Events at Mister A’s

The Downtown Room

Aptly named for its stunning views of downtown San Diego, the Downtown Room is Mister A’s larger private-event setting: a full wall of windows over the city, seating for up to 42 guests.

The Downtown Room at Mister A’s

Scale without losing the room

The Downtown Room is the space to book when the guest list outgrows a single table but the evening should still feel like a dinner rather than a banquet. Round or long tables sit along a window wall that looks straight down Fifth Avenue toward the skyline, so the view carries across the whole room rather than belonging to one end of it.

Planning for larger parties

For parties of 60 or more, a quantity of each coursed item must be predetermined in advance and meal indicators are required for each guest, provided by the host.
