Christmas Party Venues on the Northern Beaches

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

Across the Northern Beaches, end-of-year work parties tend to fall into three camps. Brewery floors and a distillery in Brookvale suit teams who want it casual, Manly rooms near the wharf suit staff coming across from the city, and Freshwater, Narrabeen and Terrey Hills cover the relaxed, beachside and very large ends of the brief. Which kind of workplace each venue suits:

The whole organisation: Gardens @ Miramare Gardens on Myoora Road takes up to 500 standing, with a PA, a cleared area for dancing and festoon lighting once it gets dark, and Dee Why RSL's Showroom also holds 500.
A mid-sized team that wants beers: 4 Pines Truck Bar's half-venue option holds 80 to 100 beside the brew tanks with gas heaters overhead, and at 7th Day Brewery the Alley and Boardroom combine for up to 100.
Staff commuting from the CBD: Harbourview Room & Atrium @ Manly Skiff Club is a five-minute walk from Manly Wharf and seats 76 across the room and covered deck, and Hugos Manly sits on the wharf itself, taking 150 on exclusive hire.
A department that wants the place to itself: Rooftop Garden Bar @ New Brighton Hotel is booked as a whole floor on The Corso, Seadrift Distillery is hired exclusively among its copper stills, and The Racquet Club in Elanora Heights goes to one group on Saturday nights.
A long December afternoon: Cabana Beach Kiosk in Narrabeen has free parking on site, Dee Why Bowling Club opens its two greens and outdoor bar to 150 with barefoot bowls on the side, and Stowaway Bar in Freshwater opens both its function areas onto a balcony.

Budgets can be set per head or per booking. 4 Pines starts from $39 per person, Cabana from $50 per person, Stowaway from $55 per person, the Dee Why Bowling Club from $250 room hire, the Skiff Club from $69 per person, The Basin Dining Room from $82 per person, Manly Pavilion and Hugos Manly both from $90 per person and Miramare from $99 per person; Seadrift is from $1,500 venue hire and the Manly rooftop from $3,500 minimum spend.

Speeches and the year in review: the Skiff Club room has a screen and projector, Seadrift has a microphone and sound system, 7th Day has presentation facilities, and Narrabeen Sands Hotel's upstairs conference room adds a projector with HDMI and a private balcony.
Dietary lists from HR: Miramare's in-house menus stretch to halal and kosher as well as vegan and gluten-free, and the Skiff Club needs requirements a week ahead.
Tab or package: 7th Day runs a bar tab and moves to pay-as-you-go when it's spent, Stowaway sells two-hour packages, and the Skiff Club's packages last 4.5 hours.
Mixed seniority, mixed tastes: the New Brighton rooftop's menu has plenty of vegan, vegetarian and gluten-free choices, served by bar staff working only for your group.

Brookvale, Manly or further out

Brookvale: 7th Day and 4 Pines both have live music late in the week, and Seadrift's private boardroom with full AV can host a short meeting first.
Manly: the Skiff Club sits where East Esplanade meets Stuart Street, and New Brighton Hotel is on The Corso in the middle of town.
Freshwater, Narrabeen and Mona Vale: Stowaway Bar takes groups from 15, The Basin Dining Room seats 76 on exclusive use above Mona Vale beach, and the Ocean Pool Room at Mona Vale Surf Life Saving Club holds 200 for cocktails.
Terrey Hills: Miramare sits on the western edge of the region, suited to a company that needs 310 seats in one place.
