Giggster can help you find the perfect bar; whether you want somewhere you can casually grab an after-work beer and dinner with friends or try out shots at your birthday party, Giggster can connect you to an event space, like our Adams event space.

• Renting a private LA bar with a dance floor is how you should celebrate a special occasion in Hollywood. You and your guests will have a blast being in the middle of the action, trying craft beer on tap, refreshing rhubarb cocktails, or classic vodka on the rocks in the right atmosphere.

The Best Events for a Bar in Los Angeles

Los Angeles bar locations are like no other; the best venue could be a beachfront restaurant, a stately estate, or a private underground speakeasy. Giggster can connect you with the best party room, and our list of the perfect event and venue pairings can help you decide.

• Beachfront Bars – Beach Parties. There's no better place than sunny LA to throw a tropical luau party. There are many beachfront bars serving arrays of alcohol that would be the perfect backdrop for beach parties. The easygoing atmosphere and scenic views add to the experience.

• Patio Restaurants – Celebration Dinners. Toast to great news with a drink over dinner at a patio restaurant. The venues can accommodate a sizeable guest list, and most provide bar service. You can still reserve a private dining room for an intimate gathering in a restaurant.

• Rooftop Terraces – Cocktail Parties. A rooftop lounge is great for hosting a chic cocktail party. Guests can sip on vodka and whiskey cocktails or even learn to make signature drinks! It creates a perfect setting for marking milestone birthdays or networking with new-found friends.

• Wine Cellars – Tastings. Plan a wine and cheese event in a private wine room. The intimate location makes it exceptional; guests can taste different flavors while learning about food and wine pairing from expert sommeliers. It's ideal for social occasions or corporate group events, like team building.

• Home Bars – Cozy Gatherings. Celebrate your special occasion at a property with an in-house bar. Find a home with an occasional room where you can hold an intimate gathering and spend the night surrounded by good company and an assortment of delightful drinks.

Top Features to Look for in a Los Angeles Bar

Your aim should be to find an ideal event setting from our vast listings. These guidelines can help you choose a restaurant, lounge, or home with a private bar that suits your special occasion.

Do guests have to fill the space? You'll need a private room with space for your guest list, but in the case of a full buyout, the venue might require you to fill the space. It's also worth noting that event venues usually have a different standing capacity from their seating limit.

What is the age limit? Even more important, you have to find out if your guests are even permitted to be in the establishment in the first place. The legal drinking age in the United States is 21, and most bars won't let you through the door unless your ID proves it. Some venues are flexible and only require an ID from patrons buying alcohol.

Does the venue offer food service? A typical bar mainly serves alcohol, bitters, and soft beverages. Some serve snacks, and a select few have dinner service.

Pros and Cons of Events in Los Angeles Bars

Advantages

• LA is in the San Gabriel Valley, near the Santa Monica Mountains and the Pacific Ocean. This means there are several beachfront bars, and flip-flops are permitted in most establishments!

• Major freeways running through town connect Los Angeles to other cities in California and the rest of the country. The city's dependable public transportation infrastructure also makes travel between neighborhoods easy.

• LA has superb food. It's the ideal venue for a food or drink-centric event, with various dining and drink options, high-quality catering, and mobile bar services.

Disadvantages

• The Los Angeles public transportation system does not cover all city neighborhoods; the best option is to reserve an accessible lounge, estate, or restaurant with a private bar.

• The city has some of the highest state taxes in the county. Although hosting a drinking party in the city is expensive, plenty of low-cost bars are around town.

• Wildfires can strike at any time in Los Angeles. Giggster allows you to back your reservation with optional event insurance, protecting your event against such situations.

How to Plan a Bar Event

Being prepared is your best bet to pull off a memorable bar event. If in doubt, these tips can help you choose the best private event venue and plan an unforgettable occasion:

Choose a Theme – A theme guides decoration choices and the dress code. A seasonal, cultural, or popular trend works well for a bar event. It also keeps guests interested, especially if it's a game night, murder mystery, or karaoke party.

Have a Drink Menu – Your drink menu should include welcome drinks, served as guests wait or sit at their tables, and tasty beverages for the rest of the night.

Set the Tone for your Event – Lighting, great acoustics, and decorations can improve the party environment. Mood lights and an awesome playlist can set the scene.

Entertain Guests – Entertaining guests is part of the event experience, especially in a bar; beer-tasting or guessing games and cocktail-making competitions are great options.

How to Save Money on a Bar Rental in Los Angeles

How much you spend on any bar event depends on your guest list, the menu, and which venue you pick. Giggster has affordable venue options across Los Angeles, and these ideas can help you reduce your budget further.

Work with a budget.

Stay under budget by assessing the cost of hiring the venue, offering food and drinks, decorating the party room, and paying vendors. Rent a budget-friendly bar, given that the menu will be the next most expensive item.

Invite a few people.

Regardless of the event, the best way to save money is to keep the guest list limited. Inviting more people means purchasing more food and beverages and renting a larger venue. For a corporate event, limit the guest list to essential team members or your closest friends for a social gathering.

Leverage Happy Hour.

Hosting your event around Happy Hour will save you money, particularly if you book a bar on a busy day.
