Birthday Party Venues in Albion

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Albion packs three quite different birthday settings into a few streets. Two sit side by side on Collingwood Street, a converted warehouse and a first-floor French bistro, while the old pub on Sandgate Road covers the casual end.

How the three Albion options compare for a birthday:

Whole-site warehouse party: The Black Brisbane hands over its hall and covered courtyard for the evening, with room for a band, a DJ and a dance floor.
Its celebration package covers 5pm to 11pm for up to 100 guests with furniture, styling and pack-down, from $6,545 room hire.
Seated French-Basque dinner: Hervé's Restaurant & Bar can put a milestone dinner in the enclosed Burgundy Room or fill The Chalet for a big crowd.
Stand-up canapés at Hervé's start at $50 per person for groups of 20 or more, all cooked in the restaurant's open kitchen.
Pub birthday: Albion Hotel pitches its Lounge Bar at birthdays, with direct bar service and big screens for a slideshow.

Hot canapé packages at Albion Hotel run from $20 per person, the gentlest on the budget of the three. Its canopied Courtyard and Beer Garden take the overflow when the guest list grows.

An arbor covers most of The Black Brisbane's courtyard, so a rainy night does not end the party, and firepits can go in when it turns cool.
Catering at the warehouse is flexible: grazing stations, a seated meal or a local food truck, picked from the venue's suggestions.
The bar at Hervé's takes about 50 standing, a good fit for after-dinner drinks once the cake is cut.
Take The Chalet at Hervé's and the outdoor Terrace bar comes with it, handy for drinks before dinner.

Albion Hotel options for a casual birthday

The Wine Room seats 30 or takes 60 for cocktails, and splits into two adjoining areas for a smaller group.
The canopied Courtyard seats 80 or holds 150 standing, while the Beer Garden takes 150 under umbrellas.
Hands-on extras such as a pizza-making session or a cocktail class suit a small crew before the party proper.
Roving oysters and a gelato cart can be added on top of canapés or a banquet.
