Birthday Party Venues in Cremorne

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Both of Cremorne's birthday venues share Stephenson Street, yet the two feel worlds apart. Lilac Wine at number 31 is a low-lit wine bar in a converted warehouse, while Amatrice is an Italian restaurant ten floors up at number 16.

One suits a loft-style party with DJs; the other a long Italian lunch with the city skyline behind it. Two ways to do a Cremorne birthday:

A warehouse party for up to 120 standing: take over the whole of Lilac Wine, with DJs and cocktails
A smaller shared dinner: Lilac Wine's semi-private area takes groups of 15 to 24 on a seasonal shared menu
A wood-fired feast: Lilac's chef's menu From $75 per person, built around the fire
A rooftop birthday lunch: Amatrice's lunch-only shared menu From $79 per person, with views over Richmond Hill to the CBD
An intimate dinner for eight to ten: Amatrice's separate private dining room

Read on for the rooms and menus, then questions on dietary needs and numbers.

Exposed brick, tall steel-framed windows and hanging globe lights run the length of the warehouse.
A long bar lines one side, leaving room for banquet tables down the middle or an open floor.
The whole venue seats 75, which suits a milestone birthday dinner.
The chef's menu runs from snacks and sourdough to charcoal chicken and smoked beef striploin, ending with chocolate mousse.
