Thirtieths in Newcastle lean towards drinks made close to home. A handful of venues pour what they produce on site, and that gives a 30th a natural focus – a tasting, a blending class or a beer the brewer can talk about – without needing to invent a theme.
The Barrel Hall at Earp Distilling Co. sits at the back of a working Carrington distillery, with a stage and its own bar for up to 300 standing; blending classes can be added and roaming canapés start from $65 per person. Modus Merewether brews on site and has four event areas, from The Oasis for about 13 to the Barrel Room for 80. Newy Distillery in Edgeworth runs a cocktail bar inside its gin and vodka distillery, hired privately after hours.
If the birthday crowd would rather talk than tour, Hamilton has two easy options. The Priory at The Blind Monk on Beaumont Street is a private room behind a craft beer bar for 30 to 70, with a $400 minimum spend on food. The Bennett on Denison Street has a sunny courtyard for 80 and no venue hire fee.
Work through these when shortlisting:
See the city's venues side by side, or look through karaoke for a different kind of 30th.
