Ask around to your co-workers and get an idea of how many are attending, it should indicate to you whether or not this is a "mandatory-voluntary" event or just a little get-together than you can blow off.
If you have to go, show up about 30 minutes after it starts and spend 30 minutes there moving around and talking to different people for 1-2 minutes each. You can then successfully bail out and the next day everyone will think you were there for the majority of the evening (provided your office is large enough and everyone is drinking enough to disguise your absence).
