Christmas Party Venues in Potts Point

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

December work parties tend to split two ways: a long lunch where the whole team can talk, or drinks that run into the night. Potts Point does both within a few minutes' walk, with Kellett Street holding the sit-down options and Bayswater Road the louder rooms.

Office party set-ups around the Cross:

A team lunch midweek: Arms Length at 7 Kellett Street can arrange midweek lunches for private parties, with chef's selection set menus from $65 per person.
Watching the budget: Bloom Potts Point charges no hire fee for the whole venue, and its standing Italian packages start from $45 per person.
After-work drinks: the team gets a corner of Penny Main Bar @ Pennys Potts Point, which runs from $250 hire fee and stays semi-private.
The whole department: Disco Room @ Pelicano takes up to 150 and can be joined with the terrace, lounge and restaurant on Level 1 at 33 Bayswater Road.
A cocktail night with tastings: Dulcie's Kings Cross reserves its whole basement bar for up to 60 and can add whisky and spirit tastings.

Weeknights are worth a look in the end-of-year rush: Pelicano is closed to the public Sunday through Thursday, leaving its rooms free for private hire. The Alcove @ Pennys Potts Point suits a team that wants a club feel with a bar of its own, with budgets set from $2,100 minimum spend.
