Birthday Party Venues on the Southern Coast

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

On the Southern Coast, a birthday booking comes down to Mandurah or Falcon. Mandurah's two pubs, Murphy's Irish Pub and The Brighton Hotel, share Mandurah Terrace opposite the foreshore, while Cobblers Tavern sits on Old Coast Road in Falcon.

Mandurah gives you a choice of upstairs bars and many small rooms; Falcon gives you one tavern whose restaurant and alfresco join into a private space.

Weighing up Mandurah and Falcon for a birthday:

For views over Mandjar Bay, Mandurah is the side to look at, with The Brighton Hotel's front deck and Murphy's upstairs Sky Bar both looking over the water.
For a seated birthday of 100 or more, Cobblers Tavern's Restaurant Exclusive seats 130 with free room hire.
For a budget standing party, The Brighton Hotel's canapé packages are from $18 per person.
For a set two-course meal, Murphy's Irish Pub starts from $37 per person and Cobblers Tavern from $61 per person.
For live music, Murphy's books bands at the weekend and Cobblers runs live music sessions too.

The Brighton Hotel offers spaces of 40 (the Alfresco deck and the domed Entrance), 60 (the Garden Bar and the Alleyway), 80 (the Eatery) and 100 (the Velour Lounge).
Murphy's Irish Pub runs birthdays of 10 to 150 across indoor rooms and climate-controlled outdoor areas.
Murphy's ground floor costs nothing to hire; at The Brighton Hotel, a minimum spend can apply to an exclusive area.
Older relatives may find stairs a hurdle: the Velour Lounge has no lift, but Murphy's does.

What Falcon offers a coast birthday instead

Cobblers Tavern's function team handles parties of 15 to 300 from one building.
The restaurant alone seats 80, and the alfresco takes 50 seated with high and low tables.
Drinks run as two- to four-hour packages, a bar tab or a cash bar.
A sports bar with TAB and a casual main-bar section suit a relaxed birthday of about 50.
