If you’re paying a minimum spend, that amount usually covers your group’s food and beverage costs. Always confirm what's included when enquiring via Tagvenue.

Booking at least 2 to 4 weeks in advance is recommended, particularly for popular city centre locations or group sizes over 30. Venues around Temple Bar and central business districts can fill quickly for weekday corporate lunches and festive periods like December.
