Christmas Party Venues in Brisbane CBD

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Seven CBD venues sit within easy reach of most city offices, which makes a weeknight Christmas party simple for staff. Options run from a riverside wharf shed for the whole company to a curtained heritage lounge for a single team.

Seven CBD Christmas party venues by team size:

Whole-company scale: Rivershed is a heritage wharf shed at Howard Smith Wharves holding 595 for cocktails or 360 for a seated dinner.
Mid-size on the river: Babylon Brisbane combines terraces for 200, or gives a team the whole of Babylon Gardens for 400 standing.
Department dinner: Club Felix @ Naldham House seats 100 at banquet tables, with canapé packages from $69 per person.
Rooftop: The Grove Rooftop keeps level 32 of 480 Queen Street private for up to 300 guests.
Single divisions: Patch eSpace, The Little Laneway and Bougainvillea House each suit a team of 120 to 170 standing.

Rivershed and Bougainvillea House both use the Howard Smith Wharves kitchens, and neither allows outside catering. The Little Laneway goes the other way, with BYO drinks served by its staff.

Babylon Brisbane runs drinks packages of two, three or four hours across three tiers, or a bar tab with a set limit.
Patch eSpace offers Silver and Gold packages of three to four hours, plus custom cocktail menus.
At Naldham House drinks run on consumption, as a bar tab or a cash bar, with a function wine list by the bottle.
The Grove Rooftop pours packages from a portable bar, with spirits and cocktails added on a tab.
