Christmas Party Venues in Neutral Bay

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

End-of-year dinners and staff drinks on the lower north shore can stay local on Grosvenor Lane in Neutral Bay. A team that wants to stand around and celebrate has one kind of room, and a team that wants a long Italian dinner has another, on the same laneway.

Picking the right fit for the office:

Down Grosvenor Lane at number 41, the Basement Area @ Hideout Bar is a private level for around 60 that takes Christmas parties, from $300 minimum spend.
Hideout's basement comes with a projector, flatscreen TV and PA for the year-end wrap-up.
Enoteca 128 at 11 Grosvenor Ln: an Italian restaurant and wine bar seating 40 or holding 60 standing.
Enoteca's shared group menu of antipasti, pasta, mains and dessert starts from $89 per person.
Drinks at Enoteca are charged on consumption from the wine and cocktail lists, while Hideout runs a bar tab.

Enoteca 128 opens at lunchtime on Fridays and Saturdays, so a Friday lunch suits a team that would rather wrap up early in December.

Groups of eight or more book through an enquiry form or by phone.
The three-course banquet takes up to 18, with a choice of four entrées and four mains on the night.
Senior leaders or a client table might suit the five-course tasting option, which caps at 16 guests and can come with matched wines.
Groups of eight to ten can order from the full menu against a per-person minimum spend.

A stand-up night at Hideout

Lounges, booths and chairs let the basement move from relaxed drinks to a party once the formalities are done.
Hire a DJ or book a live band, or plug your own playlist into the PA.
Catering is available, or the team can bring in outside food.
Air conditioning and step-free access with a lift keep a crowded room comfortable for everyone.
