About Blue Room @ The Astor Grill
The Astor Grill is a contemporary restaurant with two dining rooms inside Astor House, a 1920s Art Deco building at 157 Macquarie Street in Hobart. The style is relaxed but polished, built on local Tasmanian produce and a long wine list. The Blue Room is the smaller of the two function spaces. Navy walls, framed artworks and round tables dressed in white linen give it a warm, intimate feel, and it can be used as a fully private or semi-private room. It seats 45 guests or holds 50 for a standing event. For larger groups, the Macquarie Room seats 55 or holds 60 standing, and the restaurant suggests it for wedding receptions and corporate events. Seated functions use a three-course group menu with vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free and gluten-free choices. The kitchen can also build a degustation with matched wines, or serve canapés for a stand-up cocktail party. Wines are chosen from the restaurant's own list, which draws on Tasmanian and international producers. The team hosts birthdays, anniversaries and other milestone occasions in these rooms. Groups of eight or more pay a deposit to confirm the booking, final numbers are due 24 hours ahead, and the deposit is refunded for cancellations made at least 48 hours before.
