Birthday Party Venues in Melbourne's Western Suburbs

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Out west, birthday venues are big suburban pubs and a lakeside complex, spread from Sunshine to Werribee. The choice usually starts with the suburb most guests live in – Hoppers Crossing, Caroline Springs, Point Cook, Werribee or Sunshine – then narrows by headcount.

Suburb by suburb across the west:

Werribee: Bridge Hotel Werribee on Watton Street has a private Function Room for 60 standing and no room hire fee, with canapés from $28 per person.
Sunshine: Function Room @ Glengala Hotel on Glengala Road has a dance floor and its own bar for 100 cocktail-style, from $50 per person.
Hoppers Crossing: The Manhattan Ballroom @ Plaza Tavern takes up to 350 standing beneath high ceilings, from $29 per person.
Point Cook: The Phoenix Hotel on Wallace Avenue offers the Terrace, with a balcony and bar, for 200 standing, from $49 per person.
Caroline Springs: WestWaters on Lake Street has five event spaces beside Lake Caroline for 5 to 500.

For a milestone birthday that needs a dance floor, Glengala and WestWaters both list one, and the functions coordinator at Plaza Tavern can help with entertainment and theming.

Under 50: the Laneway at the Bridge Hotel takes 40 standing in cushioned booths, and the Phoenix's upstairs Board Room holds 50 standing.
Around 80 to 100: Glengala's room takes 100 standing, and the Verve Lounge at Plaza Tavern holds 80 with a private balcony.
A few hundred: the larger WestWaters ballroom comes with a courtyard and serviced bar for up to 300.
The very big birthday: the Phoenix bistro holds up to 700 standing as a private or semi-private space.
