Birthday Party Venues in Queenscliff

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Queenscliff gives birthday hosts a clear choice between two moods. 360Q puts a party on a private upstairs level beside the harbour, while the Beer Garden @ The Esplanade Hotel keeps things casual under timber pergolas at a pub trading since 1879.

Matching the party to the Queenscliff venue:

At 360Q a birthday has the upper floor to itself: 140 at tables or 250 on their feet, with windows on every side over the marina and Port Phillip.
There is no hire charge at 360Q, because staff, set-up, furniture and linen are folded into what you spend on food and drinks.
Out the back of The Esplanade Hotel, the garden takes 150 if you book it outright, or about 70 and 80 in its two smaller parts.
Beer garden drinks packages start from $48 per person for two hours, or set a bar tab or run a cash bar.
The pub welcomes your own cake and decorations, and has a courtesy bus for getting guests home.

Pick 360Q for a sit-down milestone dinner and the beer garden for a relaxed 18th, 21st or catch-up with share platters.

At 360Q the kitchen plans food around your party, whether that is canapés for a stand-up crowd or a plated birthday dinner.
The pub sends out share platters such as fried chicken, little beef pies, sausage rolls and salt and pepper squid.
Both venues cater for a range of dietary needs, including vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free at the pub.
360Q offers three beverage packages or drinks on consumption from its full wine list.

Before booking a birthday in Queenscliff

Check whether a beer garden section will be semi-private, as the everyday pub crowd shares the space around it.
Ask 360Q for a menu and package quote based on your guest count, since there is no room fee to compare.
For outdoor plans, ask about cover: the beer garden has pergolas and umbrellas for shade or rain.
If guests are coming from around the Bellarine, arrange transport so nobody needs to drive after drinks.
