Birthday Party Venues in Port & Semaphore

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

The three birthday venues across Port & Semaphore sit in three suburbs and suit three sizes of party. The British Hotel Port Adelaide works for 20 to 80, the Largs Pier Hotel in Largs Bay spans 10 to 175, and the Semaphore ballroom carries on from there, up to 300.

Weighing the area's three birthday options:

At the Port, The British Hotel Port Adelaide spreads its rooms over three levels, from a stone cellar seating 20 to a street-level room for 80.
Its upstairs room adds a private bar, PA and a wraparound balcony, for a birthday with speeches.
In Largs Bay, the Largs Pier Hotel offers five spaces under one 1882 roof, from Room 1 seating 10 to the Pier Restaurant and deck for about 175.
Largs Pier set menus for groups of 30 or more run from $48 per person.
In Semaphore, The Ballroom @ The Palais Hotel takes about 180 seated or 300 standing, with catering from $30 per person.

A dinner for close family suits the Port's Cellar Room or Room 1 at Largs Bay.
A mid-sized party of 50 to 80 has options in all three, from the Directors Room at Largs Pier to the Port pub's street-level room.
A big 21st or 50th points to Semaphore, though The Palais Hotel requires security for some events, 21sts included.
For guests with mobility needs, the Port pub's street-level room is fully accessible.

At the Largs Pier Hotel, ask whether a three-hour drinks package or a capped bar tab suits your crowd.
At The Palais Hotel, every event is catered, so settle the food style before the guest list.
