You’ll find various venue types available on a minimum spend basis, including cocktail bars, pubs, restaurants, and late-night venues. These spaces often include seating, private bars, and sound systems, which are great for birthdays, hen parties, or after-work events. Some, like Popworld Bournemouth or Be At One Bournemouth, are fit for larger groups with dance floors and DJs, while others like Branksome Crafthouse give a more private vibe.

Central Bournemouth has the highest concentration of minimum spend venues, especially along Old Christchurch Road and near The Square. This location puts you close to major transport links and nightlife. For quieter or more scenic alternatives, venues in Westbourne, Canford Cliffs, and Poole Town have a more relaxed setting with good value options.

The minimum spend typically covers the cost of food and drink at the venue, meaning you don’t pay a hire fee as long as you reach the agreed spend during your booking. Many venues include the use of private function rooms, access to sound systems, and sometimes staff support. Always check with the venue manager via Tagvenue to confirm what’s included for your booking.
