Birthday Party Venues in Haymarket

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Singing, dancing or both until 4am: a Haymarket birthday tends to run late. Karaoke rooms cluster in the Chinatown blocks around Dixon and Goulburn streets, while Side Bar faces Central Station from 509 Pitt Street with resident DJs every night.

Pick by the size of the group and whether the birthday person wants a microphone or a dancefloor.

Which Haymarket room suits which birthday:

A small crew for a 30th: Sugar Karaoke at 15 Goulburn Street has five VIP rooms for 4 to 20, with chesterfields, light-up tables and in-room waiter service, from $800 minimum spend.
Friends after the cheapest night of singing: Maze Karaoke on Dixon Street rents private rooms from $14 per person per hour, open 2pm to 4am every day.
A 21st with a stage: from $1,500 minimum spend, Dynasty Lounge @ Dynasty Karaoke gives up to 100 guests a 4.6m LED screen, karaoke and a dance floor.
A big 18th on the dancefloor: Side Bar can be hired whole or as a roped-off section for 10 to 300-plus, with drinks packages from $49 per person.
A birthday montage on the big screen: Side Bar lets organisers put their own visuals on the LED screen behind the DJ booth.
