There’s plenty of advantages to venues that allow BYO food and drinks. To begin with, they are a great option for those of us who are on a tight budget: providing your own alcohol and catering is often a much more affordable solution than paying for catering. Another advantage is that you can create a personalised menu that is uniquely tailored to your tastes! Being able to decide on the drinks and each single dish to the last detail is a great privilege that you can’t always have when organising an event, so enjoy it!
Furthermore, BYO venues come in a variety of sizes and types. From function rooms and banquet halls to unique event spaces, outdoor venues, and karaoke clubs, the selection is huge! They are a brilliant option for parties, weddings, meetings, and more.
There might be, but it's not always the case. Some venues charge corkage fees for BYO beverage options and buyout fees when external catering is provided. If you want to avoid paying these additional fees, use our filters and mark 'No corkage fee for BYO alcohol' and 'No buyout fee for external catering'.
The majority of BYO spaces in the city are located in the centre of the city. You'll find many of them north of the Brisbane River in the CBD and Fortitude Valley. There are also some great options in the thriving suburb of Woolloongabba. If you want to choose a venue in the outskirts, head south along the M3 and M1 to find a further selection of BYO alcohol spots!
Location was very good, with parking nearby. The room was perfect for a small party. Shwan was exceptional and was helpful throughout the from the time of booking till the event. He is an exceptional venue manager and went above and beyond to help with any requests.
What a fabulous space this is. Incredibly cost effective, loads of fun and George who hosted us was brilliant. If you are looking for a creative space for small meetups, you need to book this space.
Loved the space and the decor. It was the perfect, clean/minimal, yet eclectic space for our wedding party with family and friends. I would highly recommend this space for an exhibition or party event.
Mick and the team were absolutely fantastic, both in the lead up to the event and on the night itself! They ran me through my options, were super flexible and open to just about any suggestion. Would 100% recommend!
Amazing service from start to finish, Mick was excellent with communication and helping me with ideas for my party. The staff were lovely and helpful, we will definitely be back for another event!
Beautiful space! Emily was very helpful and always there to answer any questions :) Highly recommend!
Pleasure to work with. Accomodating and affordable. Beautiful venue in the heart of Wooloongabba. Cannot recommend enough to others looking to host an event. Can't wait to book it again!
The venue is light, airy & so much detail has gone into the space. We loved we could transform the space into our vision. Athena was great to deal with!
