Birthday Party Venues in Parkdale

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Parkdale offers two very different birthday settings. Parkdale Bowling & Social Club sits tucked away on Alameda Place, while Parkers Pavilion is a bar and restaurant on Como Parade West facing the station.

One is a self-run clubhouse party, the other a hosted bar function with food sorted by the venue.

Choosing a Parkdale birthday spot:

Seated family lunch: the bowls club seats 72 in its clubhouse, with a lounge corner beside the tables.
Bowls under lights: the club's ten-rink synthetic green is lit for an evening game.
Cocktail party: the Front Bar at Parkers suits 20 to 50 standing, with a private bar area.
Long-table feast: The Bench in Parkers' covered courtyard takes up to 30 with shared plates down the middle.
DIY catering: the bowls club lets hirers bring their own food and book its barbecue.

The bowls club doesn't host 15th to 25th birthdays, and its Saturdays are unavailable from September to March.

A modern bar stocks beer, wine, spirits and premixes, and extra stock can be ordered for the day.
Bar staff can be arranged as part of the booking.
A fully equipped kitchen is available for your own caterer.
Speakers inside and out and a wireless microphone handle the speeches.

Anything above 18 guests counts as a function, and the team sends details on enquiry.
