A farewell is often organised at short notice and paid for by the group, so it helps when a venue has a clear per-person package and a room that works for a few hours after work. Most Melbourne venues tagged for farewells are pubs and bars in the CBD and the inner south, with food packages starting between $20 and $79 per person.
In the CBD, Young & Jackson on the corner of Swanston and Flinders streets can give you its whole first floor or its rooftop bar, from $25 per person. The Elephant & Wheelbarrow on Bourke Street has two function floors, each with a bar, from a $2,000 minimum spend. Menta @ Bomba gives a group of up to 110 the whole Bomba rooftop on Lonsdale Street, from $35 per person, and Saint & Rogue on Little Collins Street has a Loft and a beer garden.
For a send-off with a view, Berth in Docklands has an upstairs room facing Victoria Harbour from $79 per person, and Left Bank Melbourne on the Southbank Promenade offers canapés from $39 per person. Amatrice in Cremorne serves Italian set menus on level 10 with the city skyline outside.
