About The Shed @ The Royal on Ruthven
Owned and run by a family, the Royal on Ruthven is a modest pub at 189 Ruthven Street in North Toowoomba with a public bar, a bistro, gaming and a beer garden. It has served the town since the 1860s, was rebuilt after a fire in 1904 and has carried the Royal name since 1949. The Shed is the larger of its two private function rooms. It seats 70 or holds 100 cocktail style, and can be set up for a sit-down meal or a standing party. The room comes with its own full bar pouring keg beer, its own bathrooms and air conditioning. Music runs through surround sound, either the venue's or your own playlist from a phone, and there is a projector and a microphone for speeches (bring an HDMI cable). Room hire is $300 and covers the furniture and a choice of balloons or flowers. Cakes can be dropped off from 3pm on the day. Upstairs, the Verandah Room is a smaller option for 22 seated or 40 standing at $100 hire. The pub doesn't host 18th birthdays, wedding receptions or baby showers, and minors can't enter either function room. To get started, the pub asks for the date, the occasion, guest numbers, seated or cocktail style and day or evening timing. It then arranges a time for you to view the rooms.
