Christmas Party Venues in the City & Inner North

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Office Christmas parties across the City & Inner North sort themselves by size and style more than by suburb. Civic's restaurants handle seated set menus, Braddon's pubs absorb big casual groups, and Dickson and Lyneham hold the large function rooms.

Comparing the region's Christmas options by team size:

Under 20: the private dining room at Such and Such seats 12, and The Civic Pub sets aside a room for 8 to 12 with its own big screen.
20 to 50: Volstead Repeal gives its entire Braddon whisky bar to a team that size, from $2,000 minimum spend.
50 to 150: Wilma's terrace takes 92 at tables or 130 on their feet, and Molly's Vault and main bar together take up to 150.
150 to 300: Pavilion on Northbourne fits 250 standing in its tropical atrium, and Assembly takes groups up to 300 in Braddon.
300 and beyond: the Winning Post Bar at Thoroughbred Park in Lyneham takes 500 standing.

Braddon adds two more end-of-year options: The Howling Moon, a glass-roofed rooftop bar for 15 to 100, and Mercure Canberra, whose Christmas packages run from a terrace cocktail party to plated dinners.
