Birthday Party Venues in Pyrmont

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Harris Street does most of the work for a Pyrmont birthday. Walk its length and you pass Pyrmont Point Hotel at number 59, The Terminus next door at 61, Gallon at 117, The Harlequin at 152, the Terrace Bar @ Dunkirk Hotel at 205 and Quarrymans Hotel at 214-216.

One street over, the Rooftop Terrace @ Pyrmont Bridge Hotel on Union Street takes up the hotel's entire top floor.

Pair the birthday with the right Harris Street stop:

A 21st on a rooftop: with its own bar, a DJ room and views to Barangaroo, the Rooftop Terrace @ Pyrmont Bridge Hotel takes 150 standing, from $2,250 minimum spend
A 30th in a beer garden: Gallon's covered garden sits against 19th-century horse stables, with canapés from $32 per person for 30 or more
A birthday with speeches and a slideshow: Pyrmont Point Hotel's four first-floor areas each have a screen and cordless mic, from $1,000 minimum spend
A casual crowd of 110: the Terrace Bar @ Dunkirk Hotel has its own bar, balcony and restrooms, from $500 minimum spend, and the north side of The Harlequin's upstairs Edinburgh Room takes 80 with two pool tables
A craft beer birthday: Quarrymans Hotel pours from up to 34 taps, and its rooftop cocktail level takes 100, from $3,500 minimum spend

The Terminus suits a dinner more than a dance, since its DA conditions rule out amplified music on the Deck and in the Courtyard, but Room 1841 seats 16 to 18 and the sandstone Courtyard holds 70 seated.

Pyrmont Point Hotel and The Terminus are at 59 and 61 Harris Street, handy if the party moves on for a late drink
The 389 bus stops across the road from The Terminus, and John Street Square light rail is close by
Gallon is a short walk from Sydney Fish Market, The Star and ICC Sydney
Quarrymans Hotel has stood on Harris Street for more than a hundred years
