44 No Minimum Spend Venues NYC

About No Minimum Spend Venues NYC

Planning an NYC event in 2026 without committing to a hefty minimum spend used to feel impossible, but this collection proves otherwise. From Tribeca to the East Village, these 11 venues let you host on your terms, whether you're gathering 30 friends or throwing a party for hundreds. Take Little More on Reade Street in Tribeca, where a 45-foot marble bar, serpent murals, and a botanical wall set the scene for everything from a 40-person downstairs speakeasy takeover to a 150-person upstairs buyout. Or head downtown to Skinos in the Financial District, a Greek oasis with cherry blossom installations and a koi pond, offering private sections for up to 150 guests. Flexibility is the real theme here. Sugar Mouse in the East Village pairs a 360-degree immersive environment powered by over 40 projectors with ping pong, pool, and foosball, and its sections scale from a 60-person dancefloor to a 400-person full venue buyout. The Folly, on the SoHo and Greenwich Village border, keeps things cozy with a nautical theme, a 30-person private mezzanine, a DJ booth, projector screen, and even a vintage photo booth. And for something truly different, Markey Gallery offers 1,750 square feet of airy Midtown creative space for up to 60 guests, bookable by the hour and one of the rare smoke-friendly event spaces in the city. What makes this collection compelling is the range: seafood dinners, high-tech gaming nights, upscale Greek dining, craft cocktail lounges, and pop-up-ready gallery space, all without the pressure of a large spending commitment. In a city where event budgets can spiral fast, these spots let you put your money toward the experience itself.
