The correct answer is "isn't there" because it is a question tag used to confirm or seek agreement.

In English, when a negative statement is made, the question tag that follows should be positive. Therefore, the correct question tag is "do we." This is because "do" is the auxiliary verb used to form question tags in present simple tense, and "we" is the correct pronoun to use in this context.

Therefore, the correct response to the statement "The party starts at eight o'clock" would be "doesn't it."
