Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Chippendale suits a birthday where the food and the setting matter as much as the party. Just south-west of Central, it centres on the Central Park precinct and the laneway dining of Kensington Street, and the two venues listed here show two sides of it. Rooftop @ The Old Clare Hotel is a private poolside rooftop with cabanas, city views and a dance floor. The Private Kitchen, in The Old Rum Store, is a long-table dining venue hired exclusively, with rotating resident chefs. One is built for a party and the other for a dinner, so the choice between them comes down to which kind of birthday you have in mind.

Before you enquire:

  • Transport and parking: Central station is a short walk, which helps guests coming from anywhere in Sydney. Parking in Chippendale is limited, so suggest the train or a rideshare.
  • Venue style: a hotel rooftop with a pool and cabanas, or a private dining room built around one long table.
  • Capacity: the rooftop holds up to 100 guests, and The Private Kitchen seats up to 64 or takes 110 standing.
  • Booking lead time: rooftops are in demand in the warmer months, so enquire well ahead for a spring or summer weekend, and earlier still for a milestone date that can't move.
  • Catering and drinks: Rooftop @ The Old Clare Hotel is from $8,000 minimum spend with food and drinks through the hotel, and The Private Kitchen is from $2,000 minimum spend with food from its resident chefs.

The Private Kitchen suits a 40th or 60th built around a seated dinner and speeches, at a lower starting spend. The Old Clare rooftop is for a birthday that wants a pool, a dance floor and the skyline, and the price reflects that. Either way, Kensington Street's restaurants and bars are close by if part of the group wants to meet beforehand.

Planning around Chippendale

  • Getting there: Central station is a short walk, and with parking limited, the train or a rideshare is the easier choice for most guests.
  • Before and after: Kensington Street's laneway dining and the Central Park precinct give options for pre-dinner drinks or a meal beforehand.
  • Season: the rooftop is at its best in the warmer months, while The Private Kitchen's indoor dining room suits a winter birthday.
  • The menu: because the chefs at The Private Kitchen rotate, ask who will be cooking on your date and what the menu looks like.
