Christmas Party Venues Townsville

End-of-year parties in the Strand city land at the start of the wet, so air-conditioning and a solid roof matter as much as the menu. Most work teams book in the CBD, where Flinders Street, Ross Creek and The Strand keep a progressive night within walking distance.

Christmas options by group:

• Whole-company dinners: the stadium's function suites in Railway Estate and the larger waterfront restaurants can seat a big team with in-house catering.
• A relaxed team of 20 to 60: Flinders Street pubs, a City Lane steakhouse and a yacht club room offer private spaces with set menus or canapés.
• Something with a game: a pinball and arcade bar for over-18s beneath the CBD's main street hosts private functions downstairs for a crew who would sooner play than sit.
• Suburban teams: leagues and community clubs in Kirwan and Alligator Creek and an Aitkenvale pub keep things close to home with buffets and cool rooms.
• Waterfront canapés: Strand restaurants and a pub with a covered rooftop suit a stand-up party with Magnetic Island across the water.

Christmas menus listed here run from $24 per person at a Strand pub to $45 per person on the Flinders Street waterfront, and the arcade bar works on a $500 minimum spend. Want an activity first? Look at axe throwing or the full Christmas party planning page.
