Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? Here are a few we hear often.

: A minimum spend is the minimum amount your group needs to spend on food and beverages during your event. It applies to all bookings, including when your guest numbers exceed the threshold for exclusive hire. It does not get rolled into a flat fee - your group simply needs to spend at least that amount at the venue on the day.
: A shared booking means your group has a reserved section of the venue, while other guests may still be present in the space. Exclusive hire means the entire venue area is reserved solely for your group. Exclusive hire is available once your numbers meet the minimum threshold for that space.
: Children are welcome at most of our function spaces, but please note the Whiskey Bar is strictly 18+ only. Let us know on your enquiry form if minors will be attending and we will make sure your booking is in the right space for your group.
: We have tapas, platters, or we can work with you to put something together. Download our functions package for the full menu and pricing, or mention your requirements in the enquiry form and we will walk you through the options.
: Yes - we have on-site parking available. Ricks Garage is located in Palmwoods on the Sunshine Coast hinterland, easily accessible from the coast and surrounding suburbs.
: We recommend getting in touch as early as possible, especially for weekend dates and major events like Christmas parties and weddings. Popular dates fill up fast. Send us an enquiry and we will confirm availability straight away.
: Absolutely. Ricks Garage has a strong live music culture and we can accommodate live performers in select spaces. Mention it in your enquiry and we will discuss what is possible for your event.
