Wondering if there’s such a thing as an Airbnb for birthday parties in NYC? Maybe you’re organizing a birthday party for yourself, a significant other, or your best friend. No matter who it’s for, you will need a stylish rental space how and when you want it!
Your first thought may be to rent a unique space through Airbnb. But Airbnb is not for hosting parties and, in fact, has a ban in place to prevent renters from hosting parties in its rental properties. So what is someone to do when they want a fresh, exciting, and private space to host a birthday party, in NYC and beyond? You turn to Peerspace, the largest marketplace for hourly event venue rentals!
In this guide, we’ll detail how Peerspace is the Airbnb for birthday parties in NYC and share a few of our amazing NYC-based spaces with you. Let’s get to it!
Should I book an Airbnb for birthday parties in NYC?
While it may seem that booking an Airbnb for a birthday bash is a great idea, there are several reasons why it’s not your best option. First and foremost, the platform is for overnight accommodations and not for social gatherings. And as we mentioned in the intro, the platform actually banned parties, meaning you can face a penalty if you decide to host a party in an Airbnb rental anyway.
What if there was a platform designed to introduce you to amazingly stylish venues in cities across the globe that are made for gatherings?
That’s precisely what Peerspace is, a peer-to-peer venue rental platform that connects you with incredible spaces to host all of your social and professional needs! Next, we share what makes Peerspace perfect for discovering and renting epic birthday party venues in NYC.
How Peerspace is the Airbnb for birthday parties in NYC
Peerspace is the quickest way to find a perfect venue for your birthday party in NYC. It offers you access to the coolest venues all over NYC as well as in thousands of towns and cities across the US and the world.
And Peerspace is the most cost-effective option since venue rentals are by the hour rather than in 24-hour increments like you would with Airbnb. With Peerspace, there is no downtime — this means that you pay for the time that you use and no more. Plus, there are no hidden costs. Each venue’s listing includes a clear hourly rate, a detailed description, and lots of pictures, so you know what to expect before booking.
Finally, your chosen venue’s friendly local host can help you arrange everything you need for an unforgettable birthday party. Reach out to them with any questions or requests and they will do what they can to oblige you. It’s like having your very own party planner at hand!
Now, let’s check out some of the most unique venues in NYC available on Peerspace. They all make incredible birthday party options that are available to book by the hour.
We love this charming event venue in Gowanus since it makes an amazing birthday party spot and it’s a venue with a purpose. First of all, for your party, you can enjoy the venue’s on-site kitchen to cook with your guests or for your catering team to take over. There’s seating for 20, standing room for 60, and also an outdoor patio for catching some fresh air with your guests.
This venue is St. Lydia’s Church, a non-profit progressive “dinner church” that aims to bring groups together to share a meal and connect. When you rent this space for your birthday party, all proceeds go back to the church, helping to feed more members of the community!
Another perk that comes with using Peerspace as your Airbnb for birthday parties in NYC? You can read reviews from past renters. And this Gowanus event space has dozens and dozens of raves! Like this one: “This space was ideal for my 30th birthday. I had about 30 guests and there was plenty of space for everyone to move around (dance), we had no issues with there being only one bathroom, and the lights were dimmable to set the vibe. Debbie was a truly wonderful host. She made sure the layout of the space was what we wanted and showed me everything I needed to know in advance. I highly recommend booking this location for your next event. You won’t be disappointed!”
Are you looking for the perfect spot to throw your one-and-only 21st birthday party? Then you need to see Spartan Bar and Lounge in Queens! This fun and vibe-filled pool hall has space for 45 guests and provides you with food, drinks, and entertainment. The host is happy to provide your food and have it set up for you and your guests. They also allow outside catering, if you prefer.
For fun and games, Spartan has pool tables, beer pong tables, board games, arcade games, and more.
According to a Peerspace reviewer: “Omri [the venue’s host] was very responsive, so quick and accommodating! The space was just as seen in the photos. I held my 24th Shrek themed birthday party and I’m glad I chose this place to book. We ordered hookah and some of my friends bought drinks. The space itself is very clean and neat. You can rearrange the couches to your liking. They also have a pool table, that takes coins, so that was very fun. There is also a bathroom and you can decorate however you’d like! Omri was an amazing host and made sure everything went smoothly.”
