Birthday Party Venues in Summer Hill

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Two birthday venues sit within a few minutes of Summer Hill station. The Summer Hill Hotel is right alongside it at 1 Lackey Street, the suburb's local since 1967, and Postino Osteria is an Italian neighbourhood restaurant about five minutes' walk away at 2 Moonbie Street.

A stand-up party: the Summer Hill Hotel's Bistro Area takes up to 80 for cocktails, with no hire charge.
Sunset drinks: the hotel's big balcony catches the sunset in warmer months and has heaters for winter.
A family dinner for 12: Postino's upstairs private dining room.
A 40th or 50th for 40 seated: Postino's upstairs dining room, or 55 standing for canapés.
The whole building: Postino takes up to 136 guests on exclusive hire.

At Postino, sharing set menus start from $89 per person, and a dedicated events coordinator looks after groups of 10 or more from enquiry to the night.
