About The Hyde Park Tavern
The Hyde Park Tavern is a heritage gastropub on King William Road in Hyde Park, a street lined with shops, cafes and restaurants. Downstairs it runs a restaurant seating up to 90, a bar and a beer garden. Private functions go upstairs. The room seats 85 or takes 120 standing, and comes with its own full bar, private restrooms, a dance floor and two balconies looking over King William Road. The room has a sound system for background music or your own playlist, three large TV screens and a microphone for speeches. A DJ or a solo or duo act can play, with volume kept in check for the neighbours. For sit-down events there is a group set menu for 20 or more guests, at $60 per person for two courses or $80 for three. Cocktail functions order platters such as arancini, satay skewers, sushi and mini burgers, with vegan and dessert options. Drinks are usually charged on consumption from an open bar or a tailored list, or you can take a bronze, silver or gold package for three to five hours. The beer garden also takes casual dining groups and cocktail functions, with minimum spends for exclusive use.
