Your Guide to Hiring Private Bars in Brisbane
Bars, much like liquor, come in an array of flavours, from cocktail bars and wine bars to gin bars or even classic neighbourhood pubs. Whatever you desire, Brisbane is sure to satisfy. Once you've decided on the type of bar you want, determine your choice based on the location, offer, and potential fees.
Many private bars in Brisbane provide function rooms or the option to section off part of their main room for added privacy. Just check with the venue manager! When considering costs, take a look at minimum spend – essentially, a free venue hire that requires you to agree on a preset spend amount. Your only task is to ensure your guests buy enough food and drink to cover the cost.
If the private bar features speciality alcohol, think about organising a tasting event. Alternatively, if you're offering a limited open bar, ensure any sponsored drinks stay within your budget. Whatever you want, Brisbane's vibrant private bars provide endless possibilities for your next unforgettable event.
