We do big group outings for work and it never seems as chaotic and suppressing like other posters are suggesting. Maybe just different types of personalities?
We have done everything. Different tables if it's busy and no reservation, big long tables where people mingle with close people at first and then get up and mingle with others as the night goes on, big tables that keep everyone together more and everyone talks and laughs together.
I think big gatherings and hatred of them are more about the people involved than the setting and/or table situation.
