Christmas Party Venues in Coburg

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

End-of-year work parties in Coburg tend to fall into one of three set-ups. Some teams want a seated feast in a pub dining hall, some want a beer garden with canapés going round, and some want a whole warehouse to themselves with a stage for speeches and a DJ to follow.

Each of those comes from a different business here, and each prices it differently – per head, minimum spend or exclusive hire. How the three venues suit an office break-up:

Post Office Hotel on Sydney Road: a pub with its own brewery and six function spaces, from a 20-seat Boardroom to a Dining Hall for 250 standing, from $700 minimum spend
BrewDog Pentridge on Champ Street: a craft beer bar inside the old Pentridge Prison, where canapés for 20 guests or more start from $40 per person
The Industrique in Coburg North: an acoustically treated warehouse one company takes over entirely, with Stage Setup for up to 900 and a $4,000 minimum spend
Mixed-seniority teams who want conversation over a meal: Post Office Hotel's share-style Feasting Banquet or Slow Roast menu
Whole-company nights with speeches and slides: The Industrique's 36-panel LED screen, in-house lighting technicians and NEXO sound

Read on for the room sizes behind each option and answers on drinks, budgets and late finishes.

A leadership dinner or small department can take Post Office Hotel's Boardroom for 20 seated, or its Intimate Dining table for up to 24 with a private bar and waiter.
Mid-sized teams suit BrewDog Pentridge's Upstairs Function Room, private and holding 100 standing or 40 seated, or The Den for 32 seated.
A full floor of staff fits Post Office Hotel's Dining Hall at 150 seated, while half the hall seats 80 or holds 120.
Several hundred guests fit The Industrique's Stage Setup, for 150 to 900 standing or around 500 seated, which includes the Side Room and courtyard.

Food, drinks and the bar tab

BrewDog Pentridge sells timed drinks packages, or the company can cap a bar tab and change that cap during the party.
Post Office Hotel offers a timed drinks package, a premium package with house spirits as an option, or a capped bar tab.
The Industrique builds a drinks package around the event and lets food be catered or brought in, with room for food trucks.
Big boards by the metre and dessert stations at BrewDog suit a stand-up party where people mingle rather than sit.

Venues for Christmas Parties: Your Questions Answered

Which Coburg venue suits a small team on a budget?

Post Office Hotel starts from $700 minimum spend, and its Boardroom and Dining Room suit groups of 20 to 80. Spends there change with the day and time, so a weeknight in early December may cost less than a Friday.

Can the whole company have a venue to itself?

Yes. The Industrique is always booked exclusively, and Stage Setup hire runs for eight hours. The booking comes with bar staff, security staff and an operations manager.

How late can a Christmas function run in Coburg?

The Industrique can go until 3am on Fridays and Saturdays. At the pubs and at BrewDog Pentridge, confirm the finish time when you enquire.

Is there a space for an outdoor Christmas party?

BrewDog Pentridge's open-air beer garden takes sections of about 60 or up to 750 across the whole garden, and a semi-private piece of the deck suits 50 standing. Post Office Hotel's covered Deck and Back Bar comes with any Dining Hall booking.
