Birthday Party Venues in Potts Point

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

A terrace house you can take over room by room, a disco under mirror balls, a poker table behind a hidden door: birthdays in Potts Point can be as low-key or as loud as the guest of honour wants. Most of the choices sit within a few blocks of each other, around Kellett Street, Bayswater Road, Roslyn Street and Orwell Street on the Kings Cross side of the suburb.

Pick the Potts Point room by the kind of birthday:

Family lunch or a long-table dinner: Bloom Potts Point at 66-68 Kellett Street seats 20 to 35 at long tables in its greenhouse-style Bloom Room, with standing packages from $45 per person, and the whole venue can be taken with no hire fee.
Friends in a terrace house: Arms Length, a short walk along at 7 Kellett Street, takes up to 80 for a cocktail party across the whole house; shared chef's menus come from $65 per person.
A big dance-floor night: Disco Room @ Pelicano, upstairs at 33 Bayswater Road, has mirror balls, neon, booths and an in-house DJ booth for up to 150.
A club room of your own: The Alcove @ Pennys Potts Point keeps a private bar, dance area and toilets for up to 130, from $2,100 minimum spend, while Penny Main Bar @ Pennys Potts Point starts from $250 hire fee and lets 100 guests share a semi-private section.
Cocktails and cards: Dulcie's Kings Cross hands over its whole basement bar on Darlinghurst Road for up to 60, and The Roosevelt on Orwell Street can set up a poker night in its Monroe Room.

Planning an 18th? The Roosevelt doesn't host 18th birthday parties, so raise the age with the other venues when you enquire. Hamilton Potts Point on Roslyn Street covers the larger end, taking groups from 30 up to 250 across two floors.

Bloom's House Room has a fireplace and a long table for 9 to 22, and you are welcome to bring your own decorations for the birthday.
Arms Length's Front Room seats 16 to 22 for a set menu dinner, with the house sound system ready for speeches.
Hamilton's main event space seats 70 at the table, and its rooms can be laid out for a speech or a slideshow, with screen equipment on hand.
The Roosevelt shapes layout, menus and service style around the party, from canapé receptions to private dinners.

After the cake: the party end of Potts Point

Pelicano's Disco Room keeps the house sound, lighting and DJ booth in place, and your own DJ is fine after a chat with the events team.
Pelicano is shut to the public from Sunday to Thursday, so a midweek birthday can book its rooms privately.
The Alcove is licensed until 3am, and the bar at Arms Length trades until 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.
For a toast with some theatre, Dulcie's will build a champagne tower on a full-venue hire.
