Brass&Co can host a company evening, an after-work party, a team-building night or a seminar lunch for up to 130 seated or 200 standing when the whole venue is hired, or about 40 guests in its lounge. Brass&Co is a restaurant and beer bar on the Mail Pierre Potier in Gif-sur-Yvette, on the Paris-Saclay plateau in the Essonne.
Seminars and company events
The venue can be hired in whole or in part, on weekdays and at weekends, for an evening, a lunch, an afternoon or a seminar. It lists leaving drinks, after-work parties, team building and company evenings among the events it hosts. Groups that do not need exclusive use can also book tables.
Its position suits the companies, research centers and engineering schools of the plateau, a short trip from Orsay, Palaiseau and Saclay. A team can hold its working sessions on campus or in its offices and move to Brass&Co for lunch, a closing drink or a dinner.
For entertainment, the venue offers music, live concerts, karaoke, a video projector and a large screen, which also work for a presentation or a screening during a private event. The public program already includes concerts, karaoke and DJ nights, so the team is used to running an evening with a band or a host.
Weddings and receptions
Brass&Co is not sold as a wedding venue, but it hosts private parties: birthdays, bachelor and bachelorette parties and celebrations with friends or family, with the same choice between the lounge and the whole venue.
Rooms and capacities
Two options are published. The lounge takes about 40 guests and suits a team lunch or a smaller party. The whole venue takes 130 seated or 200 standing. A large terrace on the Mail Pierre Potier is open in good weather. The dining room is air-conditioned.
Catering
The kitchen makes its dishes in-house from fresh products, with a lunch menu that mixes traditional French cooking and flavors from other continents. In the evening the offer moves to sharing boards, a wide choice of craft beers from the Brasserie de Sutter, cocktails and a wine list. For private events, the kitchen prepares drinks-and-nibbles or dinner formulas: charcuterie and cheese boards, tapas, drinks and special group menus. The restaurant received the Papilles d'Or award from the Essonne chamber of commerce for 2023 and 2024.
History and setting
The venue was founded by a group of friends: two brewer brothers, a wine lover and a Franco-American from the drinks trade. They wanted a relaxed place to share beer and generous food on the plateau. Brass&Co is open Monday to Friday from 11:30 am to 11:30 pm, later on concert or event nights, with a happy hour from 5:30 pm to 7 pm. Hours for weekend private hire are agreed with the team.
Getting there
Brass&Co stands on the Mail Pierre Potier in Gif-sur-Yvette, in the Moulon district of the Paris-Saclay campus, close to Orsay, Palaiseau and Saclay. Check the exact address and the best bus or car route with the venue when planning a group arrival.
