The Great Highway

The Great Highway is a distinctive event venue in San Carlos, California, where organisers can host private celebrations and corporate gatherings in a setting inspired by classic cars and mid-century Americana. The space combines a collection of restored cars and vintage memorabilia with neon signs, jukeboxes, arcade games and a retro diner. Its two levels offer around 15,000 square feet of usable space, with room for events of different styles and layouts. The venue’s rental information currently lists a capacity of up to 120 guests.

Social occasions include birthdays, engagement parties and rehearsal dinners, anniversaries, milestone celebrations, fundraisers, reunions, retirement parties and themed gatherings. For business organisers, the venue suits team-building events, off-site meetings, training sessions, client appreciation events, product launches, award dinners and staff holiday parties. Hosts can arrange a formal seated meal or a cocktail-style event, and may bring in their own approved caterers and other vendors.

A casino-style gaming area is available as an optional entertainment feature, with blackjack and craps tables, slot machines and professional dealers. The games use play money rather than real gambling. The venue also offers Roz’s Diner, where guests can enjoy options such as milkshakes, sundaes and banana splits. Tables, chairs, basic event set-up and post-event clean-up are among the listed venue provisions, and complimentary parking is available. Organisers can speak with the events team about availability, pricing, room layout and optional services, or arrange a personal tour before booking.
