Birthday Party Venues in Erina

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

The Entrance Road in Erina has two very different spots for birthday celebrations. Woodport Hotel at number 207 is a modern pub with three private function areas, from a waterside Garden Bar to a late-night Basement Bar, and Six String Brewing Co., at number 90 inside The Sawmill, is an independent craft brewery serving Filipino-inspired food beside the brewhouse.

How they line up for a birthday crowd:

Woodport Hotel's Garden Bar looks over the water with undercover seating and its own private bar, holding 300 to 400 standing.
For a 21st that runs late, head downstairs: the Basement Bar pairs industrial styling with its own bar plus proper lights and sound, for 100 to 400.
Six String's Upstairs level overlooks the brewery for 80 seated or 100 standing, with options for a dance floor, a stage or a presentation screen.
A smaller group of mates can take the Pool Room at Six String, about 12 seated or 20 standing with the pool table to themselves.
Budget-wise, Six String Brewing Co. share platters begin from $35 per person, while Woodport Hotel's set packages need 30 or more guests.

Woodport doesn't allow outside food apart from cakes, and 18th and 21st birthdays there require a security guard. Six String usually charges no venue hire fee, though a minimum spend applies and a 50% deposit locks in the date.

The Loft upstairs takes 100 to 350 cocktail-style, and bifold doors let it split in two for a mid-sized party.
The Loft's adjoining Terrace suits 35 to 50 for an open-air birthday drinks.
Catering comes from a function menu of boards, gourmet pizza boards, sliders, skewers and tacos by the tray, plus set packages.
Bookings are based on a four-hour event with two hours allowed beforehand for set-up and decorating.

Six String Brewing Co. at The Sawmill

The Main Bar area takes 10 to 30 at high tables beside the brewing action, with folding doors opening outside.
The Beer Garden holds 20 seated or 40 standing under festoon lights, with a private PA for the birthday playlist, weather permitting.
Food runs from share platters to a Filipino feast from $45 per person, with a charcuterie board as an add-on.
Two-hour drinks packages and bar tabs are both available, and a guided tasting or brewery tour can round out the celebration.
