Christmas Party Venues in North Hobart

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Three different end-of-year formats sit within a few streets in this inner-north pocket: a pub function room built for a whole company, a cocktail bar's private top floor, and a brewery taproom you can take over early in the week. Pick by headcount first, then by whether the team wants a meal or a drinks night.

Sizing up the North Hobart options for a work Christmas:

Black Buffalo Hotel's Caroline Room holds up to 150, with a private bar and an entrance separate from the main pub.
Boodle Beasley gives your group its whole upstairs level for the agreed hours, comfortably fitting 100 standing.
Hobart Brewing Co. offers exclusive use of its taproom from Monday to Wednesday only, with a $3,500 minimum spend paid up front.
Smaller teams at the Black Buffalo can use the Club Bar for a dinner, or the upstairs Federal Room for a meeting before the party.
Boodle Beasley's spend levels open at a $500 minimum spend, covering three hours at lunch, or an evening from Sunday through Thursday.

The pub kitchen at Black Buffalo Hotel serves bistro dishes such as burgers, schnitzels and steaks, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices.
At Hobart Brewing Co., the prepaid spend goes on beers made on the premises, from a cream ale to IPAs and a stout.
Wood-fired pizza runs at the taproom from Wednesday to Sunday, so a Wednesday hire can include food from that kitchen.
Boodle Beasley's function menu of share platters, bao buns and sliders is charged on top of the bar spend.

Speeches, bands and the practical side

The Caroline Room has AV equipment and connections for live entertainment, so a band or DJ can plug straight in.
A site visit can be arranged at the Black Buffalo to walk through the rooms and options with the team.
The brewery taproom is cashless, so the tab and any extras are settled by card.
Boodle Beasley asks for a deposit on Friday and Saturday nights, deducted from the minimum spend.
