Some restaurants listed advertised with Give Me The Mike to be highlighted in this guide.
Renting out a private room at a restaurant can be a fantastic — and easy — way to celebrate a retirement, milestone birthday or group gathering.
Doing your research is key. Every establishment has different guidelines on meeting food and beverage minimums.
I created this guide in February 2019 to create a central resource when you’re looking for the perfect spot. Since then, thousands of people have read through this rental guide and discovered spaces that work for them.
Happy planning! If you know of a restaurant not listed, let me know. Reach out to me by filling out this form.
Update, August 2022: with COVID-19 restrictions evolving, please allow plenty of time when planning, and give restaurants grace and patience. Some information may have changed due to COVID.
