Birthday Party Venues in Coolaroo

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

A birthday crowd of 30 or 300 can both fit inside one room on Maffra Street. The Coolaroo Hotel's Barry Maffra Room takes 300 standing or 200 seated, and it can be split in half when the guest list is smaller.

The pub hosts birthdays alongside engagements and communions, so the room comes ready for a celebration: a private bar, a stage, a dance floor and a microphone for the speeches.

What suits which kind of birthday:

A 21st with dancing – the dance floor and Bluetooth audio are built into the room, and it is DJ friendly.
A 50th with a sit-down dinner – two set menus are served alternately, with mains such as barramundi, rump steak and butter chicken.
A smaller family party – the Barry side on its own holds 100 standing or 70 at tables.
A kids-included celebration – children 12 and under get their own meal on the set menus.
A slideshow of old photos – a projector is part of the room's set-up.

Parking on site is free for guests. Enquire through Party Hero to check the room for your date.
