Top Features to Look for in a Toronto Bar
Bars can be the perfect spaces if you're looking for an intimate setting, or an intimate venue, and can be pivotal in creating unforgettable memories. Here are the key features to look for in a bar venue.
How large is the selection of drinks? If you’re looking to host your event at a bar, chances are that the number of drinks available will be the focal point. Before committing to a venue, ask the venue owner to provide a drink or cocktail menu and make sure it matches your vision!
What equipment is included? Most spaces in Toronto come with at least some basic sound systems, displays, and speakers, but if you need additional or better gear, you’ll need to bring your own or browse local rental businesses.
What’s the seating capacity of the venue? Depending on the scale of your event, you may need a larger or more compact space. For an intimate gathering with your closest friends, a small bar will do just fine. On the other hand, if you’re looking to host a public event, you’ll need a larger space!

Planning Your Bar Event in Toronto
No matter if you have some experience when it comes to planning events or if it's your first time. Here's how to get started.
Determine the Budget – You’ve decided on Toronto as your party destination and are ready to start looking for the perfect space with Giggster.

You should have an answer to all of these questions!
Choose a Theme – After you’ve determined your budget, it’s time to start looking at some of the most incredible venues in Toronto. First, pick a theme, and then find the venue to match it. With Giggster, you can browse all the options from the mobile app!

How to Save Money on a Bar Rental in Toronto
You don't have to go way over your budget to try and make some unforgettable moments. Here's how to plan your party on a budget while keeping an artistic flair and an old-world charm.
Consider a more limited menu.
While having a huge menu with multiple dishes and dozens of drinks to choose from may sound appealing, you have to balance it with how much you can spend. Remember that, other than booking the venue, the refreshments will take most of your budget!
Plan your event for the off-peak season.
If you’re looking to maximize your savings in an expensive city like Toronto, your best bet is to plan your event for the low season. This is when demand for all types of venues is at its lowest and your attendees will get better deals on flights and lodgings if they’re visiting.
Take care of the decorations yourself.
You don’t have to hire expensive caterers or professional decorators to make your party unforgettable. Find out if the venue has an in-house catering menu and shop at local thrift stores for some affordable decorations. Give it your own personal touches!
