Birthday Party Venues in Sandringham

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Two Beach Road addresses cover Sandringham birthdays, and both face Port Phillip Bay. Sandy by the Bay is the function room of the Sandringham Football Club, upstairs behind floor-to-ceiling glass at Trevor Barker Beach Oval; the Sandringham Hotel, at 118 Beach Road, is a pub across from the Sandringham Gardens and the foreshore.

Sandy by the Bay works as one dressed room with a dance floor, while the pub gives you a choice of four spaces, small and large.

Picking between them for a birthday:

Up to 30 for drinks: the Cocktail Lounge, a casual corner of the hotel's Grillhouse.
A sit-down dinner for 25 to 50: the semi-private Port Phillip Room.
Outside whatever the weather: the Deck, heated and fitted with clear blinds, holding 60.
A 21st or 40th for 200: Sandy by the Bay, or the pub's Front Bar with its own entrance.
Seated for 180: Sandy by the Bay.

Sandy by the Bay's cocktail packages are from $39 per person, and the pub's drinks packages from $40 per person.
