Some venues may have a no-alcohol policy, which could dampen your happy birthday and create friction amongst guests.

If you're planning an adult birthday party in Austin, the Giggster app offers unmatched listings. You can find the perfect fit for your birthday and spruce it up to match your vision.
Lofts – Open Concepts. If you're looking for plenty of dancing space and want something out of the ordinary, consider reserving one of our many loft venues. These locations are modern, open, and trendy. Many are also decorated in an eclectic style, offering fabulous spots for Instagrammable pictures.
Outdoor Spaces – Garden Vibes. Are you looking for a nature vibe? How about planning a party at an outdoor space? You'll get the best of the greenery with open-air patios, indoor-outdoor flow of people, and plenty of fresh air.
Rooftops – Trendy Spots. How about a rooftop terrace with a backdrop of the beautiful Austin skyline? Such places are gorgeous for day and night parties, which means you could host a birthday sundowner. Hire a DJ, offer an open bar, and provide lounge seating to get everyone in the right vibe.
Bars – Austin-authentic Feel. You know you're in Austin when you host your party at a bar. Opt for casual mixers, pub-style parties to celebrate your birthday with plenty of incredible food and drinks.
Homes – Cozy Vibes. Planning an intimate get-together for your special day? We offer multiple home and mansion listings for laid-back dinners and themed parties. The best part is that some offer full access to the kitchens, washrooms, bedrooms, and optional pool access.
Austin is more than just the Live Music Capital. It's an exciting place with plenty to do. Are you a fan of the Peter Pan Mini Golf Course or the Sky Candy training center? We have outstanding spots that offer just as much fun—scroll through the app for entertaining places. Once you have the venue, follow these tips for the planning process.
Choose Your Location – Begin your hunt for the perfect space with the Giggster app offering 210 popular venues for private events. You can take your time finding the best spots for a surprise party, baby shower, engagement banquet, wedding, and even a farewell dinner.
Select the Food – Central Austin and the surrounding areas of Lake Austin have numerous incredible restaurants that offer catering. You can also try out the new trend of hiring food trucks with delicious food for your guests (according to preference). As a birthday idea, a taco truck that makes a minimum of five or six different types of tacos is also not a bad one.
Set the Vibe – Depending on how you want the birthday celebration to proceed, consider the vibe and music. You can go all out and hire a live band to play cover songs or opt for local artists, like a DJ, to get everyone on the dance floor. You can even curate your own Austin-themed Spotify or Apple playlist.
Personal Touches – If you have a backdrop of Lady Bird Lake, you could plan everything according to sunset vibes with oranges, cream, and gold colors. If you don't want a color theme, consider themed cakes and cupcakes or a guestbook so everyone can write their special wishes for you.
Don't sacrifice the good vibes just because you're trying to save money. A few drinks and a birthday cake are just the start of what you can achieve with our money-saving tips.
Have you considered the option of a food truck?
You can hire a food truck instead of expensive catering for your guests at the event venue. Hiring a food truck will help you control the minimum spend that caterers require and will also make it fun for everyone attending your party.
Can you reduce the alcohol cost?
Private parties usually require a full bar, bartender, and full-service staff. You could bypass all this by offering a few cocktails, pre-mixed sangria, or simply serving the alcohol yourself to save money.
Plan the entertainment yourself.
If you're hosting a corporate meeting, you'll probably need the full entertainment package. But if you're planning a birthday party with friends and loved ones, you can save money on the DJ and live band. Instead, opt for a Spotify, YouTube, or Apple playlist to play your favorite dance numbers.
With Giggster, you never have to wonder about finding the best adult birthday party venues. From downtown Austin and East Austin to other surrounding cities, you're sure to find a unique event space that's the perfect venue for a dinner party, engagement party, or corporate event. So, without further ado, take a look at our incredible Austin locations and secure one for your birthday celebration today.
