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
