Private bars are already a relatively affordable option for parties, but if you're looking to stretch your budget even further, here are some tips to help you save:

  • Limit the number of guests. A smaller guest list means less money spent on food, drinks, and other party essentials, making it easier for you to manage costs without sacrificing the quality of the event.
  • If premium liquor is too pricey, opt for a bar that serves mainly beer and wine. Consider asking the bar if you can set up a cash bar for those who prefer cocktails so they can purchase them separately.
  • Plan your event during the bar's happy hour. Many small bars in Toronto offer discounted rates on drinks during those times. 
  • Talk to the venue manager or check the venue details and package deals, including food and drink options. 
  • Save on decorations by doing it yourself. Simple, stylish DIY decor can create a great ambience.
  • Instead of offering a full menu, serve only a few key appetisers or snacks.
