Birthday Party Venues Hobart

A birthday here can be as casual as share platters on a brewery mezzanine or as formal as a seated dinner in a revolving room above Sandy Bay. Most of the choice sits in town: pub function rooms, cocktail lofts in old sandstone stores off Salamanca, and North Hobart taprooms that hand over a whole floor. A handful of milestone-friendly spaces sit further out, at a Margate hop shed, a Richmond hillside and a Huon Valley apple shed.

Matching the room to the kind of party:

• Big, loud and standing: brewery taprooms and cocktail bars with a private upstairs level, often against a $500 minimum spend or more.
• Drinks and nibbles for 30 to 80: a covered beer garden with its own bar on Salamanca Place, or a waterfront pub room with gas fires and room to dance, from $300 room hire.
• A long sit-down dinner: upstairs rooms in a charcoal grill off Salamanca Place from $60 per person, or seafood above Victoria Dock from $89 per person.
• A milestone with a view: fine dining in Sandy Bay from $140 per person, or a waterfront whisky bar inside a hotel from $88 per person.
• A day out of town: a cellar door above Richmond or an apple shed in the Huon Valley, with a coach booked for the group.

Share packages at a central taproom start from $25 per person, which makes the inner city the easier place to keep a long guest list affordable. For more party ideas see the birthday planning page, or add a DJ or a photo booth.
