Birthday Party Venues in The Entrance & Tuggerah Lakes

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

One road ties this region's birthday venues together. The Entrance Road runs from Long Jetty, beside Tuggerah Lake, up to The Entrance, where the lake meets the ocean, and three very different party venues sit along it: a heritage pub, a live music bar in an old cinema and a BYO tapas restaurant.

Choosing between them mostly comes down to headcount and how loud the night should be.

Matching the birthday to the venue:

A dinner of 30 for a 40th or 50th – Jasper's at 334 The Entrance Rd, Long Jetty can be reserved in full for a group of about 10 to 30.
A band for a big milestone – The Savoy Bar and Music has a live music stage, holds up to 170, and its team can arrange a local band or DJ.
An 18th with a microphone – karaoke, plus a DJ, fits in either The Lakes Hotel's Sports Bar (100) or its Front Bar (120).
Money on food, not the room – The Lakes Hotel charges nothing for space hire in any of its four party areas.
Your own bottles – Jasper's is unlicensed, so guests bring wine or beer and pay corkage.

Long Jetty suits the birthday that is about the food or the music; The Entrance suits a pub party where friends drift between bars, platters and a dance floor.

The Entrance & Tuggerah Lakes Birthday Party Venues

Jasper's sets a sit-down banquet of shared plates, a grazing table or canapes, and caters for dietary needs when told ahead.
Private lunches at Jasper's run 11.30am to 3pm and dinners 5pm to 10pm, so a grandparent's birthday can be a daytime affair.
The Savoy can be hired whole through its upstairs theatre, or partly across the bar and theatre for a smaller group.
The Savoy has no lift and a staircase at the door, so mention older guests' access needs.

The Entrance: a pub party at The Lakes Hotel

The covered Beer Garden and the architect-designed Tiled Lounge each take 80.
Pre-ordered platters feed a stand-up crowd – vegetarian, pies, seafood, grill or roast chicken.
Balloons and decorations, a photographer and security can all be arranged by the functions team.
Your booking deposit isn't lost: it can be spent at the bar on the day.
