Birthday Party Venues in Cleveland

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Cleveland gives a birthday party water on almost every side, and its three venues each look out over a different stretch of it. Pick between a harbour pub, a heritage hotel marquee and a restaurant out on Cleveland Point.

Three Cleveland birthday settings, each with water views:

Raby Bay harbour: Cleveland Sands Hotel opens a sunny courtyard that splits into sections for 20, 40 or 70, or goes exclusive for 150.
North Street marquee: Stradbroke Marquee @ Grand View Hotel gives the party its own bar, restrooms and AV, with canapé packages from $36 per person.
Cleveland Point: The Lighthouse Restaurant puts Waters Edge right beside Moreton Bay, seating 140 or holding 200 for cocktails.
A whole restaurant: Cleveland Sands Hotel can hand over its full restaurant, open kitchen and all, for up to 200.
A semi-private perch: the elevated Deck at The Lighthouse Restaurant suits up to 50, from a $3,500 minimum spend.

Cakes can come in without a cakeage fee at Cleveland Sands Hotel, and The Lighthouse Restaurant welcomes balloons and table touches for smaller celebrations.

The marquee holds 150 for a cocktail party or 120 at long or round tables.
Half the marquee can be taken instead, the bay side or the bar side, for up to 60 standing.
Packages need 30 guests and run from canapés and grazing to rotisserie buffets and shared banquets.
