Many rental bars allow you to decorate the event space, but it's always best to check with the venue in advance to understand their restrictions or guidelines. Some bars will limit the type of decorations you can use or require you to remove them after the event.
Some bars like Simona's Bistro allow you to bring your own food and alcohol, but others will only allow you to use their catering services. For example, Velvet Oak Tavern charges $25 per person and only allows in-house catering. This means they take care of all your food and drink needs. Always confirm your catering options with the bar beforehand, as some places might charge a corkage fee or have specific rules regarding outside food and beverages.
