Booking a group space
shouldn't take a week
Most venues still run private events over email. We put the availability, the pricing and the paperwork in one place — so nobody has to chase anybody.
No back-and-forth
No inquiry forms, no waiting three days for an events manager to email you a PDF. Availability is live, so you book the space yourself.
Every number up front
Minimum spend, deposit, per-person pricing and what is actually included — all visible before you commit, for both sides.
Confirmed in minutes

Private event spaces at bars and restaurants
Book the Bars is a marketplace for private event spaces in New York City and Sydney. Every listing is a real room at a real bar or restaurant: private dining rooms, function rooms, rooftops, back bars and full venue hire. Each one shows its capacity, how it is priced and the dates the venue has opened, so you can compare spaces side by side instead of emailing five events managers and waiting for PDFs.
Groups use Book the Bars for birthdays, work drinks and team dinners, engagement parties, rehearsal dinners, end-of-year parties, product launches and client entertaining. Search by city, date and guest count, then narrow by price and capacity. Spaces marked bookable can be reserved on the spot: pick a date and start time, set your headcount, review the price and pay the venue's deposit to confirm. Spaces marked inquiry only work the other way round: you send the details of your event and the venue replies in a chat on Book the Bars with a quote, menus and any questions.
Pricing is shown the way each venue charges it. Some spaces have a minimum spend on food and drink, some charge per person, some add a room hire fee, and many offer set menus and drinks packages. There are no booking fees for guests. Run a bar or restaurant with a private room? List your venue and take private bookings directly.
