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!
