From $1,000. 48 spaces.
These Brisbane venues don't charge anything to hire the space. Most set a minimum spend instead, which means you agree to spend a set amount on food, drinks, or both, and that covers the room. Brisbane is unusual: a good number of these venues ask for no minimum spend at all, so there's no target to hit on the night. Fortitude Valley has the biggest cluster. Every space listed here has a $0 hire charge on a Saturday, and some even include a bonus $100 bar tab!
Free hire venues in Brisbane usually want at least 30 guests before they take a booking. Across Brisbane the usual floor is 20.
