Austin has a hidden treasure trove of cheap private dining venues! East Austin’s relaxed eateries, South Congress’s chic bistros, and the cool pubs near Downtown will give you access to good food and great vibes without stretching your budget. You'll easily find a quality and comfortable space, whether you're planning a special dinner or a casual get-together with friends or family. Tagvenue helps you find exactly what you're looking for. So you can book a venue in minutes.
Check out North Burnet, which has some casual, spacious options without the downtown price tag. East Cesar Chavez has a casual party vibe, close to local breweries, quirky shops, and taco joints. In Holly, just east of downtown, you'll find cool, affordable restaurants with private rooms.
Hourly rates are around $100–$250 per hour, perfect if you just need a space for a few hours. Minimum spend venues range between $500 and $1,500 per session. For a full-day rental, prices fall between $1,500 and $5,000 per day, though smaller spots might be on the lower end, especially outside the downtown core. (All data from Tagvenue.)
For a quick and affordable transformation, balloons and banners are easy to set up and take down, and themed table settings or runners add good qualities without taking up too much space. Check with the venue beforehand for a setup time so you have enough time to get everything just right before guests arrive.
