Birthday Party Venues in Bentleigh

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Centre Road carries Bentleigh's birthday options, from a whole Italian restaurant at number 309 to an upstairs gastro pub at 401 and a pub's Corner Bar further east at 730. Each suits a different size of party, from a long table of about 33 to a full-floor hire of 180.

The Bentleigh Social works for a big stand-up crowd, the Boundary Hotel for a packaged party of 40 to 80, and TÁVOLA for a seated family dinner.
