Booking a group space
shouldn't take a week
Most venues still run private events over email. We put the rooms, your brief and every reply in one place, so nobody has to chase anybody.
One brief, not five emails
Give your date, headcount, occasion and budget once, then send it to the venues you like. Each one replies with a quote.
Every quote in writing
Prices, menus and questions come back in one chat per venue, so you can compare them side by side and nothing is lost in an inbox.
Decide as a group
Save the rooms you like and share one link. Everyone picks what works for them, and you can see where the group lands.
Three steps, start to door

Private event spaces at bars and restaurants
Book the Bars is a marketplace for private event spaces in 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.
