Christmas Party Venues in Randwick

What to Know Before Booking Christmas Party Venues

A seated dinner or a proper party is the first call for a Randwick work Christmas. Sella Vinoteca in the Newmarket precinct runs corporate dinners in a private wine room or its main dining room, across the road from Prince of Wales Hospital, and Kalyx Lounge Bar & Club on Avoca Street has two levels that can be booked privately, with a dance floor.

Staff ages and the night of the week both narrow it down.

The Randwick Christmas shortlist:

A board or leadership table: Sella's wine room seats 14 comfortably, up to 16
A department dinner: Sella's main dining room, which seats 40
The whole team partying: a private level at Kalyx, which is DJ friendly and has its own sound system
Awards or the year's highlights: the wine room screen at Sella can be hired for presentations
A midweek option: Kalyx opens from 6pm Wednesday to Saturday

Sella's food packages begin from $85 per person, drinks can be a tailored package or on consumption, and a 10 percent service fee is added.

Produce-led Sardinian cooking on seasonal set menus
Canapé service when the whole restaurant is hired
Glass doors that open so the group can spill outside
