FAQs about Top Private Bars in Toronto, ON

When renting a bar for an event, you will most likely be asked to pay minimum spend for the use of the venue or a private room. This is a set amount that you agree to pay for food and drink during your session. If you fail to reach this amount, you will need to settle up separately with the venue for the remainder. Bars are also often rented on a per person package basis for which you will receive a set food and drink selection and pay a per person surcharge. 

When looking for a bar in Toronto, start your search in the downtown area. Hit up King West first as the area is packed full of great indie bars. Queen West and West Queen West are other great locations, full of glam and fashionable joints. The Annex is also filled with hopping bars and is a great nightlife destination. Lastly, check out Parkdale, the street running from Dufferin Street to Roncesvalles Avenue has everything from craft beer to crafty cocktails

Start your search in a venue marketplace like Tagvenue. This way you can look for a venue and filter your search results by location, size and cost. Once you have compiled a list of your favourites, compare your offers and make your pick. Then reach out and contact the venue manager to settle your booking.

Private bars are already a rather inexpensive place to party, but if your budget is running thin, consider these options: 

  • Minimum spend venues – With these venues, you do not have to worry about a hire fee. All you have to do is spend a certain amount of money on food and drinks and you are good to go.
  • Keep the numbers down – Keeping the party small is always a good idea if you don’t want to break the bank. 
  • Beer and wine bar – If premium liquor is too expensive, limit the bar to beer and wine. This way everyone will still have access to some great drink options, and you won't have to dish out the big bucks for expensive bottles. Ask the bar if you can open up a cash option for people if they are interested in a cocktail.

Do Private Bars Offer Event Packages?

Private bars often come with event packages designed to make your planning a breeze. Whether you're after a classy cocktail lounge, a secretive speakeasy-style bar, an open-air rooftop venue, or a high-energy live music bar, there’s something ready to match your vibe and budget.

Are There Any Themed Toronto Bar Rentals?​

Oh yes!

You’ll find spots like Ahma Toronto in Roncesvalles, serving bold interiors with modern Asian flair — think neon signs, punchy cocktails, and a stylish backdrop perfect for birthday shots and selfies. The Sand Trap Golf Simulator & Lounge in Parkdale lets you sip cocktails while swinging golf clubs, because yes, that’s a thing. Then there’s Trapped Escape Rooms & Lounge on Queen West, where your party comes with a side of puzzles and playful chaos.

Prefer vintage speakeasy energy? G-Funk KTV in Agincourt North mixes retro karaoke with private lounges, perfect for themed nights with a playlist to match. Or for that tropical glow-up, Crafty Coyote Ale House near the University offers craft brews in a space with serious “laid-back lodge” energy.

Planning Tips for a Great Night Out

  • Start with the guest list
    Before you book, know your headcount. It’ll help you filter venues by size and minimum spend, and guide decisions about food, drinks, and floor plans.
  • Find the right vibe
    Want a cozy local bar feel? Or something trendier with a built-in DJ booth? Browse venues with photos, menus, and capacity details to match the energy you’re going for.
  • Check what’s included as many bars offer:
  • AV equipment for quiz nights or screenings
  • Custom cocktail menus
  • Snack platters or full catering
  • Private bartenders or servers
  • Space for live music or DJs
  • Get the menu right
    Toronto bars are known for their food and drink creativity. Think shareable snacks, signature cocktails, craft beer on tap, and wine options. Ask about creating a themed menu or drink specials for your event.
  • Add entertainment
    Private bars are great settings for:
  • Live music or DJs
  • Trivia nights (bring your own questions or hire a host)
  • Karaoke or themed games
  • Movie nights with a laptop and projector (some venues supply AV gear)

Fun Event Ideas for Private Bars in Toronto

  • Birthday Bashes: Celebrate with your crew, a curated playlist, and a few rounds of signature cocktails.
  • Holiday Parties: End-of-year company parties or festive nights with friends—bars keep the vibe casual but memorable.
  • Pub Quiz Night: Test your guests’ pop culture and trivia knowledge over drinks. Add prizes to up the energy.
  • Cult Movie Screening: Pair a classic film with themed drinks. The Big Lebowski? Better have White Russians ready.

Booked Birthday Celebration Space at Leng Keng
5.0
The venue has a very fun atmosphere. It is equipped w lights, awesome sound system, a dj booth, multiple screens! We booked LengKeng for a 50th and the space and staff delivered! We ran photo montage during the night and when we needed to switch videos for a dance number, it was a quick change. They also had the lyrics up on the multiple screens during our karaoke segment. All other times was dedicated to dancing. It was like RPM (for those who know) again! They permitted us time to decorate and bring food and even let us store the cake. The staff was great! Right from the inquiries to the final moments; they appeared very hard working, very attentive, accommodating and thorough- we were able to enjoy the night with their immense help and smiles through their hard work. We wish these group all the best and we hope to have another event and we would totally book with LengKeng again!!! Thanks Tom and crew!

Booked The Moonlight Room at TacoTaco
5.0
The entire experience, from planning to the very end of the night was exceptional! Liem Was very easy to get in touch with to ask questions along the way. The staff on the day of the event were incredible, easy-going, professional, very good service. The venue is really cool, kind of a dive bar But elevated vibe. They were really open to me bringing in my own flameless Candles and other lighting, the place looked so cool. The value for food and drinks is really, really good. Overall, I can’t say enough great things about this venue and the team!

Booked Brewery & Café at Something in the Water Toronto
4.6
PROS/LOVES: - The Venue: it was totally cleared out (tables and chairs) for the party. We had a little cocktail reception, the space was a fantastic size for 50-60 people, the colour scheme, cocktail/alcohol display, food presentation, and layout were an absolute knockout!! 10/10 - Outdoor Space: the Muskoka chairs were set up around a fire pit and the patio was set up with additional heaters, it was perfect for a late-November party. - The Food: don't skip on the sandwiches and empanadas!!!! all my guests were floored with how good everything was. - Flexibility: we were allowed to essentially bring in whatever we wanted from decor, to furniture, to outside food. Very flexible on the planning. I couldn't recommend a spot more than Something in the Water!!! Amanda was incredible to work with, really chill and supportive of our plans, timing, etc etc etc! This was such a great experience, and I'd 100% have another event here!

Booked Tropical Themed Space at TacoTaco

We rented the Moonlight Lounge in the back of Taco Taco for my 60th birthday party, with about 70 guests. It was a fantastic venue, cozy and funky, perfect for drinks and dancing. All our guests raved about the venue and the food. Luan was easy to work with, quick to respond and very accommodating. Our bartender was super friendly and efficient and the drinks were a good price. The Moonlight Lounge was the perfect place for our party!

We reserved Opium Bar for my husband’s 30th birthday! Communication with Michael prior to the event, at the event, and even after the event was fantastic. The staff has a great system in place, ensuring your guests don’t wait long for their drinks. We had an absolutely amazing time at Opium Bar and would recommend to anyone searching for a venue!

Booked Tropical Themed Space at TacoTaco
5.0
Luan was communicative, readily available, and went above and beyond simply because she could. Taco Taco was well decorated, clean, and with the catering I ordered there was very little left for me to do as a host by the time I got there. Guests all had a great time and the bartender was willing to help with all little requests that popped up. Would 100% book again.

I loved the vibes of the place exactly what I was looking for to celebrate my birthday! Eric and the staff were amazing, and so helpful all night. My guests had a fantastic time. The space of the venue is amazing and there is quite a ton of room as I had around 65 people, and it didn't feel packed! It was overall so cute, the decoration of Misty is gorgeous and really suited to my needs!
