A BYO (Bring Your Own) venue is a type of establishment, such as a restaurant, café, or event space, where customers are allowed to bring their own alcoholic beverages, usually for a corkage fee. BYO venues are popular among diners who have specific preferences for drinks or wish to save money on alcohol costs while still enjoying a meal out. These venues often have specific policies regarding the types of alcoholic beverages allowed, corkage fees, and any limitations on consumption. So when booking an event in this type of venue, we advise you to always read all the terms and conditions of your booking agreement before signing.
