About Highbury Hotel
The Highbury Hotel stands on Lower North East Road in Highbury, at the foot of the Adelaide Hills in the city's north-east. It runs a family bistro, a sports bar with big screens and a gaming room, and it hosts functions of every size. The main party space is the upstairs function room. It has a private bar, a dance floor and audio-visual gear, and it takes up to 140 guests for a cocktail event or 80 to 90 seated. Two more spaces cover the smaller and larger ends of the scale. The atrium suits 40 standing or 30 seated, while the bistro can be booked for seated events of up to 280, such as presentation dinners. Catering ranges from cocktail platters ordered by the tray to set menus. Two-course set menus start at $32 per person, with alternate-drop and choice menus above that, and the kitchen can tailor a bar menu on request. For drinks, choose a cash bar, a subsidised menu where guests pay part of each drink, or a straight bar tab up to a limit you set. Linen is included with room hire, and you are welcome to bring your own balloons and decorations.
