Yes, most venues allow alcohol to be served, but many will require a licensed bartender and compliance with local licensing laws. Since 18 is the legal drinking age in the UK, venues like BrewDog Newcastle and Chaophraya private dining room cater to birthday bookings that include bar service. Be aware that some venues may request proof of age and ID checks for all guests.
In most minimum spend venues, the price covers room hire, service staff, furniture, and catering/bar spend. Venues with event packages often include tables and chairs, and sometimes a sound system. Check if extras like a DJ booth, lighting, or decor setup are available or need to be arranged separately. Some venues on Tagvenue include these details in their listings so you can plan ahead.
