Christmas Party Venues in Richmond

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

A Richmond end-of-year party can be as small as a team dinner beside a fireplace or as big as an upstairs floor with its own bars. City Bar @ Corner Hotel on Swan Street is the Corner Hotel's main private room for larger celebrations and work events, under an atrium roof that lets in plenty of daylight.

On Bridge Road, The Bridge Hotel lists nine function options and The Coppin Room @ The Spread Eagle Hotel sits upstairs in a pub that has traded for more than 130 years, while The National Hotel on Victoria Street hosts end-of-year celebrations for 10 to 100.

Lining up the four for a December work function:

Presentations: City Bar's two 85-inch screens, zoned sound and wireless microphone.
Seated team dinners of 60 to 70: City Bar again, or Brick Corner and the Heritage Room at The Bridge Hotel for 62.
Mid-sized parties: The National's Garden Parlour, 48 seated or 60 standing, with a private bar.
The full company: The Bridge Hotel's upstairs Studio and Loft for 200, or exclusive hire of the pub.
Prices from: $27 per person at The National, $37 per person at The Bridge Hotel, $40 per person at City Bar, $500 minimum spend at the Coppin Room.

City Bar's minimum spends change with the date and season, so ask for quotes on more than one night before settling on a date.

The Den at The National is semi-private with exposed brick, for 20.
The Café at The National seats 24 by the front windows on Victoria Street.
The Legends Lounge at the Corner Hotel seats 30.
Beside the balcony at The Bridge Hotel, a private dining room takes 12 to 20.
