The document is Taberna del Alabardero's general 2025 events menu and policy packet — private dining spaces, per-person menu and beverage package pricing, enhancements, and reservation/cancellation terms. It contains no event-specific rental fee, date, space assignment, or F&B total for this inquiry. Extracted durable venue facts from Taberna del Alabardero's 2025 Events Menus packet: address, in-house F&B model, standard menu/beverage package pricing, service charge and fee structure, and a full room-by-room list with maximum capacities, minimum spend and deposits. Missing: postal code, square footages, non-seated capacity formats, and any named contact person.

Still unknown: ZIP/postal code and country · Square footage of any space · Cocktail/reception, theater and classroom capacities · Named individual event contact · Capacity of Main Dining Room and Bar areas · Room rental fees (venue uses F&B minimums instead)
