Christmas Party Venues in Pyrmont

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

For offices around Darling Harbour, a Pyrmont Christmas party is usually a short walk rather than a taxi ride. Most of the end-of-year options are pubs and bars strung along Harris Street, with the Rooftop Terrace @ Pyrmont Bridge Hotel one block across on Union Street.

They split by format: minimum-spend pub floors at Pyrmont Point Hotel, Quarrymans Hotel and the Terrace Bar @ Dunkirk Hotel, canapé packages at Gallon, a flexible upstairs floor at The Harlequin, and The Terminus for a seated lunch or dinner.

Budget and headcount point to the right room:

The big end-of-year party: the Rooftop Terrace @ Pyrmont Bridge Hotel gives a team of 150 a private floor, bar and smoking area, from $2,250 minimum spend, while The Harlequin's Edinburgh Room can be taken whole or split in two for groups from 20 to 300
A Christmas lunch for a department: Pyrmont Point Hotel's Karma, combined with its covered deck, seats 80, from $1,000 minimum spend
Drinks for a smaller team: the Terrace Bar @ Dunkirk Hotel is set apart with its own bar and balcony, from $500 minimum spend
Canapés for a crowd: Gallon runs functions up to 150 across its Stables, Sunroom and courtyards, from $32 per person
A floor to yourselves: Quarrymans Hotel's Lounge is a whole level with a private bar and balcony, fitting 110, from $3,500 minimum spend

The Terminus takes the seated side of December, with a Courtyard inside old sandstone walls for 70 and a private dining room for up to 18 with AV for a short presentation.
