Some restaurants listed below advertised with Give Me the Mike to be highlighted in this guide.
It’s a question I get frequently: ‘Please recommend a restaurant where you can rent a private room. I’m planning a birthday party for a friend.’
I get it. It sure beats out inviting randoms into your house — and then having to clean up after them.
After a while, I thought, ‘Heck, there must be an extensive guide out there listing all these restaurants.’ Well, there are a couple. One, from 2016, is extremely out of date. Many of the restaurants listed have closed. Another one I found is good, but it’s limited.
Wedding planners have their own rental guides, but you don’t need to rent out a 300-person reception hall for your cousin Janet’s 50th birthday. So, I did my research and created this guide.
Happy planning! And if you know of a restaurant not listed, let me know! Reach out to me by filling out this form.
