Based on the popularity and user ratings on Tagvenue (updated August 2025), the best options include:

  • Versatile Event Space at The Atrium in Inner West - rated 4.9/5
    Our user said: ‘The place was amazing! Fit our group perfectly for a baby shower! Very handy having the tables and chairs!’

  • Basement Area at Hideout Bar in Neutral Bay - rated 4.9/5
    Our user said: ‘Great venue, excellent location. Wonderful cocktails and amazing bar tender.’

  • Entire Venue at Tatler Sydney in Darlinghurst - rated 4.8/5
    Our user said: ‘The venue was fantastic, indoor, outdoor and lots of space to spread out.’

You can choose from creative studios like Scroll Stop Studios in Alexandria, black-box style rooms, performance theatres such as the Sydney Masonic Centre, and multipurpose event spaces with built-in bars like Club 77 in Darlinghurst or Tatler Sydney. Many of these are flexible in layout and can be arranged with theatre-style seating or standing room.

Evenings from Thursday to Saturday tend to draw the biggest crowds. These time slots are also the most in-demand for venues, so it’s worth booking early. For smaller community or open mic shows, Sunday afternoons and weeknights can also be cost-effective and easier to schedule.

To keep costs down, look for smaller venues in Alexandria or Inner West suburbs like Camperdown and Newtown, where hire fees start around $40 to $100 per hour. Choosing weekday slots or opting for venues with fewer inclusions can also lower costs. Use our filters to sort by price and location, and message venues directly to ask about custom packages or discounts for regular bookings.

Absolutely. Many venues welcome recurring bookings and may offer better rates for regular use. Studios, small theatres, and pubs in areas like Newtown and Surry Hills often host weekly or monthly comedy nights. Remember to filter for venues with availability on your preferred days and reach out to discuss a recurring hire.
