Melbourne Birthday Party Venues, Compared

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

A Melbourne birthday might be twenty friends around a table or four hundred people on a rooftop, and the venues tagged for birthdays cover that whole spread. The cheapest places to start are pubs: Three Crowns Hotel in West Melbourne from $14 per person, Holmes Hall in Moonee Ponds from $19 per person and The Wolfhound in Fitzroy from $20 per person.

For a bigger night, Good Heavens and Morris House in the CBD can be taken over entirely, Rubix Warehouse in Brunswick brings club sound and lighting from $3,600 minimum spend, and Level One @ The Hawthorn Hotel hands a group the full first floor of the pub. If the birthday is really a long dinner, Amatrice in Cremorne and Berth at Docklands both start from $79 per person.

Matching the room to the kind of birthday:

  • A small crowd: The Coppin Room @ The Spread Eagle Hotel in Richmond from $500 minimum spend, Private Dining Room @ The Lincoln in Carlton, The Wine Room @ Lamaro's Hotel in South Melbourne, Private Dining Room @ Builders Arms Hotel in Fitzroy, or Parkers Pavilion in Parkdale
  • Drinks above the street: The Rooftop Bar @ Balaclava Hotel in St Kilda East from $26 per person, Menta @ Bomba in the CBD and Quarterhouse at Docklands
  • A night of dancing: Sandown Park Hotel, Waltzing Matilda Hotel in Springvale and Manhattan Hotel in Ringwood list a dance floor and DJ setup
  • Somewhere near water: The Decks @ The Boatbuilders Yard in South Wharf, Anglers Tavern in Maribyrnong and The Epsom in Mordialloc
