Birthday Party Venues in Battery Point

Two old sandstone buildings off Salamanca Place give Battery Point birthdays a choice between a sit-down grill dinner and a stand-up cocktail night. Ball & Chain Grill hosts upstairs in a store convict labourers built in the 1830s, while Botanica Bar runs its parties in a timber-beamed Loft above the bar.

What each Battery Point birthday option gives you:

• Ball & Chain Grill has three function rooms upstairs, from a private dining room for about 8 to a main room seating 65 or holding around 80 on their feet.
• Birthday groups of ten or more at the grill order from a set menu, from $60 per person, and a canapé list covers a stand-up crowd.
• Botanica Bar's Loft holds 100 for cocktails or 50 seated, has its own bar and lighting you can dim, and can be taken exclusively or shared.
• Food at Botanica Bar comes as platters feeding roughly eight to ten guests each, and a birthday cake is the one thing you may bring in.
• Steaks off a charcoal-only grill set the tone at Ball & Chain Grill, while Botanica Bar pours from local distilleries and breweries.

Both party rooms sit up a flight of stairs. The grill is listed as wheelchair accessible, but the Loft at Botanica Bar has stairs only and its bathrooms are downstairs.
