Every one of them accepts a bar tab. Costs outside the venue quote usually include DJ hire, entertainment, specialised catering and decorations.
Mostly not. 5 of the 6 spaces that set a minimum spend have no hire charge at all. The 1 that do charge run from $250 to $250 for a Saturday.
Food, drinks or both, depending on the venue. At a lot of venues drinks alone will cover it, and the venue's own listing says which applies. See how minimum spend works.
