Birthday Party Venues in Chatswood

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

A sit-down French-Japanese dinner, a brasserie long table or a pub floor for 300: Chatswood's birthday venues cover a wide range of party sizes. Bistro Kai is at 316 Victoria Avenue, Smoque Brasserie is further along at 409 Victoria Avenue next to The Concourse, and The Great Northern Hotel, a pub with a heritage listing, stands at 522 Pacific Highway.

Finding the birthday format:

A seated dinner for 20: Bistro Kai's half venue hire runs four hours, from $2,500 minimum spend.
The whole restaurant for 45: Bistro Kai's full venue hire has no time limit, and hosts can bring balloons, props and signage.
A brasserie birthday: Smoque's set menus start from $65 per person for two courses, for parties of up to 80.
A 21st with a crowd: the Great Northern's Northern Room holds up to 110, or 170 joined with the Western Room.
Fingerfood and drinks: five items a head at the Great Northern come in at $38 per person.

Drivers will like Smoque's spot: the Concourse car park has around 400 spaces and a lift straight up to the restaurant.

Bistro Kai lets guests bring their own wine for a corkage fee per bottle, and drinks sit outside its minimum spend.
Smoque's set menus can be upgraded with a 90-minute bottomless beer and wine package, but groups of eight or more cannot BYO.
Bistro Kai adds surcharges from Friday to Sunday and on public holidays, while Smoque has no group surcharge.
The Great Northern charges no room hire fee, though each room has a minimum guest number.
