You've got everything from tiny rehearsal rooms for 4 people to big stages that hold up to a thousand. Want a stripped-down black box space for a play or poetry night? Done. Looking for a full-service ballroom with sound, lights, and seating? That's here, too. There are studios, art galleries, converted warehouses, bars with stages, and even themed spaces like a vintage bunker.
Many venues let you bring in your own AV or instruments, but some already come equipped with the basics, like PA systems, mics, lighting rigs, or a staging area. Places like COSIGN Studios or The Creatives Factory are set up for events where you want to plug in and go. Use Tagvenue's messaging tool to confirm what's included so there are no surprises on show day.
Yes. If you're keeping costs low, places like Beehive Dallas or The Dream Studio offer hourly rates from $50 to $100. That's great for short sets, pop-up gigs, or private rehearsals. You won't get massive capacity at those prices, but they're solid if you don't need a full theatre setup. If you're going bigger, you're looking at $250–$550 per hour, or a session fee between $2000-$7000, depending on your crowd size and duration. (Based on Tagvenue data.)
In most cases, yes, but it depends on the space. Some venues allow you to BYOB or work with outside caterers, while others offer in-house bar service or kitchen access. For example, spots like Longhorn Icehouse or Guitars & Growlers are built for events that include food and drink. If that's a must-have, filter for licensed venues on Tagvenue or ask the host directly.
