Birthday Party Venues in Belconnen

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

In the Belconnen district, The Lighthouse Pub on Emu Bank is the birthday venue listed here. It sits on the edge of Lake Ginninderra and splits functions over three areas, so the size of the party decides where you end up.

It is a relaxed local with live music on Friday nights and trivia each week, which makes it a fit for a 30th or 40th with friends rather than a formal dinner.

Three Lighthouse Pub areas for a birthday:

The beer garden, under a covered pergola with lake views, takes up to 150 on high and low seating.
The Sports Bar is fully closed off from the pub, holds 70, and has its own pool table and two big screens.
The main bar takes 80 among booths and tables and opens onto the beer garden, though it stays open to the public.
Share-style food packages, Standard, Premium or Gold, start from $26 per person with three items each.
The sound system takes playlists, and bands or DJs are welcome if they finish by midnight.

For a private feel, the Sports Bar is the only area here closed off from other drinkers.
Screens in the main bar can run a birthday slideshow as well as the sport.
Decorations need the functions manager's approval, and confetti and party poppers are not allowed.
Book a DJ or band for a later finish, keeping the midnight cut-off in mind.
