Skip the college-inspired barhopping next time you have something to celebrate and go hard the Giggster way.

Private events are getting an overhaul with Giggster. These are no ordinary venues with run-of-the-mill amenities! Here’s a snapshot of all the possibilities when clubbing with us:
A multi-purpose event venue has all the makings of a good club—bars, commercial kitchens, audio visual capabilities, fancy lighting setups, and lots of space. Give these guys a break from pastel weddings and show them a good time.
Give your club a sophisticated makeover with a trendy cocktail lounge. These warm, low-lit spaces filled with leather club chairs are undeniably sexy, and expert mixologists will seal the deal for your classier clients.
Catering to a millennial crowd? Discover the art of the hipster club pop-up. With some industrial warehouse features, microbreweries and distilleries are more rustic and laidback, while still offering plenty of space to play.
A cabana-style club at a poolside pad is the best way to beat the heat of a Dallas summer. A foam pit, a wet T-shirt contest, floating beer pong…the world is your oyster.
Go clubbing above the clouds with a penthouse lounge or rooftop terrace. Nothing says VIP quite like an exclusive DJ showcase with Dallas skyline views!
Exceptional Variety & Quality: Transform the main dining room of a tapas and cocktail lounge into a private club for all your closest personal relationships, or make faces in photo booths at the back of a massive event hall with a full-service bar. Whatever you had in mind for your special event, one of our 91 clubbing locations is sure to be the perfect fit.
Hassle-Free Booking: For one little site, we’ve got more to offer in terms of event experience and exciting entertainment venues than you can imagine! With us, you can find the perfect space on a budget (our properties start at $29/hour), and make it yours in the blink of an eye.
24-Hour Free Cancellation Policy: Cancellation fees are a major bummer. Pull the plug within our 24-hour grace period so you don’t get hit with ‘em. It’s always available to you, so long as your party is more than 48 hours away.
Platform Protections: Don’t let disruptions, damage, or liability concerns spoil your fun! We’ve added optional protection plans to our site to help you avoid headaches and hassles when renting a premier venue like Experience History with Microbrews in Dallas.
A club may seem like a one-trick pony, but you’d be surprised how many different types of parties you can host here. Here are just a few ideas to get your creativity flowing:
Dance Club Event – All Night Fun. If you love to dance the night away, a private club experience is for you. From birthdays to ticketed club nights you hope to turn a profit from, bringing in a DJ and disco ball gives your event tons of potential.
Live Performance – Crowd Magnets. Concerts, stand up comedy, raves…the thing these entertainment events have in common is a need for lots of space and good AV capabilities. You’ll find them here.
Influencer Event – Exclusive Venue. When you have VIPs on your hands, you need to host the hottest event in town. Why not entertain guests with exclusive access to the Dallas nightlife scene?
Bachelor/Bachelorette Party – Wild Fun. Weddings call for one last night on the town. You could even have your raging reception here if you feel so inclined—just don’t be surprised if your grandparents leave as soon as the beats start bumpin’.
Clubs offer premium event experiences due to their exclusive nature and existing amenities. Before you book one, make sure it has the features that you need for an optimal experience. Some of them are the following:
Good seating options are often overlooked, but they are so important. From VIP booths to folding chairs, even standing room only events can be enhanced by somewhere to rest your bones.
Staff, staff and more staff. Security detail and onsite bartending services you can wrap into your rental package will make your life so much easier.
Does it have a good sound system? Music is the heartbeat of your event. Make sure your event space has the best possible sound systems on site, or you’ll have to outsource.
Where is it located? The ideal location is paramount if you want high turnout. Deep Ellum is top tier, but Uptown Dallas is also a nightlife beacon. A Victory Park location is also ideal as it's the epicenter of entertainment in the city.
Does it have Wi-Fi? High-speed internet may not seem important, but guests' online ticketing and security systems will all rely on the network.
Is there bar service? This shouldn’t be a shock, but people coming to a club event are coming to drink. A good bar setup and maybe cheap nearby dining options will set you up for success.
In many ways, Dallas, TX, is the ideal location for a party-centric pop-up. That said, you need to weigh all the pros and cons of hosting here if you want your next business endeavor to be a big success:
Advantages
Dallas never really gets cold. If you're getting all dressed up to go out, you can skip the jacket, change of shoes (and probably the umbrella) that will lead to an annoying coat check experience.
The city’s public transit may not be the speediest in the country, but it has a decent reputation throughout the state for being safe, reliable, and widespread, getting your guests home safe at the end of the night.
Looking to feed a crowd? You’ve come to the right place. Downtown Dallas is a culinary experience in its own right, with phenomenal Tex-Mex and BBQ restaurants for all your catering needs.
Disadvantages
Safety is always a concern after dark, especially for young women. Dallas crime rates are pretty high compared with other cities in Texas.
The nightlife scene in the city is exceptional, which means you’ll have some competition when it comes to making your event stand out.
Alcohol laws are pretty strict around here so you’ll need to educate yourself as a host. With a bar curfew of 2 am, many establishments close even sooner, and you don’t want to take any risks that put your parties in the way of legal trouble.
Being a good party host doesn’t just start when you open the doors and roll out the red carpet. It’s going to take a lot of work to create a party paradise, so we’d recommend equipping yourself with some of these pro tips:
Have a Security Plan in Place – Especially these days, safety is a big concern for those trying to enjoy the nightlife scene and those trying to facilitate it. This starts with hiring a high-quality security detail, but it also includes having a clear bag policy and a metal detector as you enter the front doors. It’s better to be safe than sorry.
Liaise with Local Taxi Companies – Believe it or not, your liability can extend to making sure everyone has a safe ride home. If you’re planning to draw a huge crowd, give taxi businesses a heads up and chances are they will send a few drivers to line up with your event time so there are rides at the ready.
Hire Promoters – These days, they can take different forms. Social media socialites will shout out your event in exchange for complex tickets, or you can opt for promoters by trade who sell tickets and amp up the excitement in the crowd.
To Drink or Not to Drink – Not every club event needs to be exclusively for drinkers, but planning an event with underage attendees does require some extra considerations. Implement stamps or wristbands at the doors and hire a bartending service that you trust to keep you out of trouble with law enforcement and the liquor licensing board.
Throwing a club event on a shoestring budget is no small feat, but nothing is impossible around here. Put some of these budgeting tips to good use, and we think you’ll be surprised at how affordable it can be:
Take a chance on newer performers seeking exposure.
If you have time to scout and audition your talent, you may be able to score a major deal with those looking to make their big break in the industry.
Focus your attention on pre-sales.
Selling tickets before your event may not save a ton, but it will beef up the budget you have to work with from the start. You can incentivize by making them cheaper in advance than they will be at the door.
Outsource food and alcohol services.
While this is one of your biggest money-making opportunities, it will also be your biggest upfront costs. Allowing a bartending service and a food truck to take over and bring in their own revenue means you won’t have to pay for staff or ingredients.
