Some venues rent by the hour, others by the day. So it really depends on what kind of vibe you're going for and the event you're planning. Hosting a quick showcase or rehearsal? There are options from just $12 an hour in Norcross. Going all-in for a big all-day event? You can book a large performance space like One Sixteen for an entire day. Most places are flexible, so just message the venue manager on Tagvenue and work out a schedule that fits.
You've got loads of variety. From the 190-seat Theatrical Outfit (perfect for plays and screenings) to smaller, creative spots like Space 323 or Peters Street Station, Downtown has options for live music, theatre, open mics, and pop-up events.
Absolutely. Atlanta has multipurpose spaces, especially around Inman Park and Downtown. Places like Mixdeity MEDIA Café and The Plug ATL Media Content Studio are perfect if you want to host a live event and shoot content at the same time. Many studios are already set up for filming, so you don't need to bring in extra gear.
You can in most places, but you'll usually need a licensed bartender or an alcohol permit (some venues already have this). Venues like The West Venue tend to be event-ready with all that stuff sorted, but if you're going DIY at a studio or smaller spot, make sure to check with the manager before planning your bar setup.
