Birthday Party Venues in Maribyrnong

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Rosamond Road and the riverbank give Maribyrnong birthday parties two quite different settings. Highpoint Hotel is a sports pub inside Highpoint Shopping Centre, with pool tables, dartboards and arcade machines, while Anglers Tavern on Anglers Way sits on the Maribyrnong River with a whole function level upstairs.

Highpoint keeps things casual in a partly screened-off corner near the bar; Anglers has private rooms with their own bars and entries.
