If you’re planning a party but don’t want to spend a fortune on it, there are many ways to get it done. Firstly, look for venues that operate on a minimum spend basis. This way, your guests will pay for their own drinks and snacks, and you won’t pay for the venue at all! You can also look for venues with a BYO policy. This option is a great way to save money on alcohol. A BYO venue will allow you to bring all the alcohol and drinks you need for your party instead of buying them at the venue. Select the “BYO alcohol allowed” filter to search only through venues with this policy. You can also book a venue on an off-peak date, as those dates usually have lower demand. Also, don’t be afraid to ask the venue for special deals and packages, as they may offer something that will help you lower the cost of your party.

Your Guide to Hiring Party Venues in Bristol

Bristol’s historic and medieval centre, the Old City is a fantastic place to begin your search. Whether it be birthday parties, or hen and stag do’s, there are an abundance of open and flexible spaces that can also be hired privately. Most of these run parallel to the busy Anchor Road and are very easily accessed on foot or by bus. There’s also a nice variety of welcoming places lining the waterfront with Bristol’s many quays and harbours, which are ideal for summer parties. This includes whole venues and private rooms along Bordeaux Quay, as well as large function rooms on Museum Street and Prince Street. 

Outside the centre, Queens Road is situated next to the prestigious University of Bristol and houses some stellar event venues. With large galleries, adaptable function spaces, and classy balconies, there is a more luxurious vibe to these areas, making them ideal for drinks receptions, corporate events, or various concerts.

Similar venues can also be found in Broadmead, a shopping quarter next to Castle Park, where you can find more intimate halls, brasseries, and even a church. Suitable for more private gatherings, here you can host private dinners, baby showers, and more exclusive birthday parties.

Booked Main bar at Clubhaus Harbourside
5.0
Absolutely fantastic venue and wonderful staff. We had such a great experience with Clubhaus Habourside. They were so communicative and so quick to answer any questions and help us figure out solutions and organise everything all along. On the day itself Jade was totally fantastic, and helped us get setup and get things running smoothly. The staff all went above and beyond to make the evening wonderful. And the venue itself is perfect. With room for a dance floor, seating inside and the huge, amazing terrace, it was absolutely ideal. Would highly recommend this to anyone wanting to plan a party!

Booked The Lounge at The Lost & Found Bristol
5.0
I organised a party here and had such a great time. The space was perfect for the 40-60 people, and the staff were so nice, efficient and professional (for example, when I was worried I hadn't ordered anything gluten free, the staff were very quick to assist me in ordering and bringing food out quickly - during a very busy bar environment). I would recommend this venue to my friends, and also my work.

Booked Whole Venue at Cloak
4.7
Pre-event communication and flexible approach of George from Cloak was great. The venue is wonderful and was brilliant for our needs - a joint 18th, 21st and 60th birthday party. Having two floors with the ability to play different types of music on each floor was great. The sound technician was really helpful and it was great to have them with us for the set up and duration of the party. So many of our guests said how much they liked Cloak - It’s definitely top of my list for any other celebrations we may have in the future. It’s a great space, great furnishings upstairs, great bar and club-like dance room downstairs and the offer to make up named cocktails/mocktails for the each of the people celebrating their Birthday - what’s not to like! 😋 - Thank you so much to everyone at Cloak!

Booked The Brunel Room at Armada House
5.0
We booked Armada House for a team training day after comparing with similar hotel conference rooms in the area; it was by far the best value. It is only a 15-20 minute walk from the train station so location suited us. We were travelling from all over so needed to be reasonably close to the station. The contact before the event was fantastic, very informative and quick to respond. The venue was lovely and had everything we required. The food was delicious and multiple people from my team approached me to praise it specifically. The staff were very helpful and made sure our day ran smoothly. A big thank you from me. I know the venue do weddings too; it really is a lovely venue, I would definitely consider it if I was looking for a wedding venue.

We hired the secret bar for our civil partnership and it was a very good choice. The staff are lovely, so helpful and nothing was too much trouble. Things were laid on on time and beautifully presented. We have a lovely day and I would not hesitate to hire the secret bar again for a party. Thank you to everyone involved!
