ERIA Marina · San Francisco
Hosting an event for 50 in San Francisco? ERIA Marina fits 50 guests at classroom or rounds seating, with a full bar, catering and AV on site.
Why ERIA Marina
Why it works for 50-person events
Fifty guests fill a room without needing anywhere close to ERIA Marina's full capacity, which means a 50-person event still gets the whole venue: the bar, the lounge, and a layout set specifically for that headcount rather than a slice of a bigger space.
- Rounds or classroom seating sized to 50, with floor space left over
- A private bar and lounge included at no extra footprint
- One layout that works for a meeting, a party or a dinner

FAQ
Questions about 50-person events
What layout works best for a 50-person event?
Classroom seating (up to 80) or rounds (up to 100) both suit 50 guests comfortably, depending on whether the event is presentation-led or conversation-led.
Can 50 guests still use the full bar?
Yes. The bar and lounge are part of every booking regardless of headcount.
Is 50 people enough to book ERIA Marina exclusively?
Yes. Every event books the room exclusively, whatever the guest count.
