Birthday Party Venues in Rye

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Both of Rye's birthday venues line Point Nepean Road, the town's main strip along the foreshore. Rye Hotel offers private rooms from a small garden-style nook to an upstairs bar over the water, while Terry's Karaoke & Piano Bar hands each group its own soundproof room and a microphone.

Picking a Rye birthday format:

A big night with a view: up to 180 can stand in the hotel's upstairs Verve Bar, which has a terrace of its own and a lift.
A ground-floor party: downstairs, the Blue Water Room takes 80 seated or 100 for a stand-up party, with a separate door and bar.
A small lunch: the Gazebo, tucked into the bistro, fits 26 under a green wall and an opening roof.
Singing all night: the group room at Terry's takes 10 to 25 with dedicated in-room service, and standard rooms suit up to eight.
Set menus: two-course options at the hotel start from $49 per person, with three courses also on offer.

Terry's goes adults-only after 8pm, so an evening booking there suits a grown-up birthday while a family party fits the hotel.

Book either of the two larger rooms as a package and you get five hours, set-up, linen, staff, AV, a guard on the door and platters.
A prepaid bar tab is part of those packages, or hosts can run their own tab instead.
The kitchen sends out finger food, hearty platters, plated set menus or, on request, a buffet.
Dietary needs are sorted at the time of booking.
