About Hotel Allen
Hotel Allen is a corner pub on Eyre Street in North Ward, on a site that has held a pub since 1876. The building has traded as Hotel Allen since 1959 and mixes a retro tropical look with a bistro, sports bar, gaming room and rooms upstairs. Three areas are set aside for private events. The beer garden takes the most people, holding up to 100 guests when you take the whole garden, or 40 and 60 in its two sections. The garden is fully covered, so it works in any weather, and it can be reached from inside the pub or straight off Warburton Street. Low tables through the garden suit a relaxed sit-down celebration. The Lounge Bar beside the bistro takes 80 guests at mostly high tables, with its own section of the shared bar, which suits cocktail-style drinks and grazing. The Gregory Street Veranda holds 60 in an open, breezy outdoor space with the main bar close by. Food is ordered as platters of 30 pieces, from party pies and sliders to yum cha, wings and vegan bites, or as a banquet for 30 or more guests. Banquet boards include Greek lamb, smoked brisket, peri peri chicken and Tex Mex, with vegetarian boards to match. Drinks can run as a package of two, three or four hours, a bar tab with a limit you choose, or a cash bar. You are welcome to bring a cake and decorations, and there is no cakeage fee.
