Birthday Party Venues on the Northern Beaches

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

The coast's birthday venues fall into three suburbs, and each suburb has its own style. Hillarys has two function-heavy venues with private rooms, Mindarie has one restaurant that reserves sections for groups, and Scarborough has two beachfront bars, one with a dance floor.

Which coastal suburb suits the party:

A party wanting a room to itself points to Hillarys, where R.Scotts Function Room at The Waterfront Tavern and the beach club's Bert's Ballroom each take 150.
Mindarie suits a relaxed group meal, as Portofinos Beach.Bar.Kitchen books reserved sections up to 80 with no venue hire fee.
Scarborough suits a big night out, with The Peach Pit's dance floor and Scarborough Beach Bar's whole-venue hire.
Morning celebrations can be breakfast functions at Hillarys Beach Club.
For live music, Portofinos has it in its function room on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays.

Privacy varies most in Scarborough, where the bars' areas are largely semi-private, while the two Hillarys rooms for 150 are closed off.
