Birthday Party Venues in South Yarra

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Chapel Street gives South Yarra birthdays two very different heights. Twenty-four floors up at 627 Chapel Street, Beverly pairs a set dinner with views across the skyline to the bay; down at 426 Chapel Street sits The Lounge @ Temperance Hotel, all red velvet and chrome above a pub dating from 1868.

Two Chapel Street birthdays, side by side:

Dinner-led: Beverly's Chef's Selection menu is $120 per person for groups of 8 to 30.
Party-led: The Lounge takes 100 standing guests and has its own mirrored bar.
Food on the move: canapés at the Temperance run from $38 per person, for groups of 20 or more.
Taking over the top: Beverly's exclusive hire seats 145 or holds 190 standing.
Somewhere between: a Bar Takeover at Beverly ropes off a bar area for 29 to 50 with drinks and bar snacks.

Beverly can arrange a DJ through its events team, though live bands aren't possible; at The Lounge, drinks can be a timed package or a capped bar tab.

Skyline Dining at Beverly seats 31 to 45 along the windows, a good fit for a 40th dinner with speeches.
Half Venue Dining gives 46 to 60 guests one side of Beverly's room for four hours.
Smaller catch-ups can use the Temperance's curtained dining space, which seats 14, or its beer garden.
For a really big party, the entire pub is available for up to 500, subject to a minimum spend.
