Birthday Party Venues in Redfern

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

A Redfern birthday can mean a Viking-style feast, a corner-pub terrace session or a round of pool with the jukebox going. The Bat & Ball Hotel and Mjolner Sydney both trade on Cleveland Street, while the Tudor Hotel sits on the corner of Pitt and Redfern Streets.

Three ways to throw a Redfern birthday:

Feast like a Norse chieftain: Mjolner Sydney serves share-style set menus to tables of eight-plus, From $100 per person, beneath carved shields and drinking horns.
Claim a terrace: the Tudor Hotel lets one party take its private room and terrace outright, up to 70 on their feet, with private bathrooms.
Play between rounds: The Bat & Ball Hotel sets aside a games room for 30, kitted out with pool, e-darts and a jukebox nobody pays to use.
Go big: Mjolner can be hired outright for a seated dinner of 80 or a standing crowd of 100, the most guests of the three.
Stay outside: the Bat & Ball's beer garden fits up to 65 birthday guests at tables or standing, and it has another pool table.

Check the ages on the guest list first: Mjolner turns away anyone under 10, so a party with small children suits one of the two pubs.

Under 20: the Nook at the Tudor suits a small dinner of around 14, and Mjolner's two private booths take 10 to 16.
Around 20 to 30: the Bat & Ball's bistro handles a birthday table of 20 off the regular menu, and its games room steps up to 30.
Up to 40 seated: Mjolner's private dining room, the Feasting Hall, or the Tudor's dining room and bar, which also takes 70 cocktail-style.
A crowd of 70 to 100: the Tudor's room and terrace caps out at 70 standing; beyond that, Mjolner Sydney on exclusive hire fits 100.

Feasts, platters and pub food for a Redfern party

The whisky bar at Mjolner stocks around 400 bottles, and a guided tasting can be part of a 40th or 50th.
At the Tudor Hotel, drinks go on a tab or one of three three-hour packages, the entry level priced at $45 per person.
The Bat & Ball keeps a catering menu for groups and charges no fee to book its function areas.
