Birthday Party Venues in Waverley

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

Both of Waverley's birthday options share one address: 203 Bronte Road. Downstairs is an art deco pub, the Robin Hood Hotel, with footy on the screens and karaoke on Friday nights, and the whole first floor above belongs to Lorraine's Bistro, so a party can stay small at the pub or take over an entire level.

Sorting the birthday by crowd:

Watching the game: the Nook, upstairs at the pub, pairs its own bar with a 110-inch projector, for 60 standing.
Outdoors in any weather: 80 can stand on the Deck Bar, whose roof retracts, and it keeps a bar just for the party.
A milestone dinner: Lorraine's Private Dining Room seats 36.
The whole extended family: Lorraine's full floor takes 200 standing or 130 seated.
Somewhere small: Little Lorraines seats 25, and the Terrace holds 30 standing under a roof that opens.

Function food at Lorraine's starts from $45 per person, and at the Robin Hood from $40 per person.

The Atrium sits under a glass roof and holds 120 standing, with its own audio-visual set-up.
DJ inputs, microphones and installed party lights come with every booking.
The floor is licensed until 2am Thursday to Saturday.
A ramp entrance and a lift make it wheelchair accessible for older guests.

The Robin Hood for a pub-style party

The Bistro can be reserved for a seated group of up to 30 sharing a menu.
Birthday food comes off canapé and shared plate menus arranged with the functions team.
More than 90 back vintage and rare bottles make the wine list worth a look for a milestone.
Karaoke is on every Friday night, with late trading until 3am on Fridays and Saturdays.

Is Lorraine's Bistro accessible for elderly guests?
