December is usually a busy month for everyone. What with the end of year, holiday season, and trying to close on those Q4 figures, many of us are looking for a place to blow off steam when it’s all over.

Feel free to join us for a festive borrel at Market 33, and we shall raise a glass to the upcoming new year.
