About The CBAR Room @ CBAR
CBAR is a long-standing, locally owned restaurant on Gregory Street at the Strand end of Townsville City. It sits right on the water, with views across the Coral Sea to Magnetic Island, and serves coastal food built on local produce. The CBAR Room is its private function space, a bright room with large glass doors facing the water. It seats 46 guests or holds 60 standing, and a 75-inch TV and wireless microphone are included for speeches and slideshows. For bigger numbers the room opens onto the deck for up to 100 standing, and the whole restaurant can be booked for 200 standing or 150 seated. Live music is allowed in the room as long as it doesn't disturb diners on the main deck. Catering runs from breakfast platters and a plated breakfast to canapé platters and two- or three-course alternate-drop menus. Mains include rump steak, Atlantic salmon, duck à l'orange and mushroom risotto, and most dietary needs can be catered for. Drinks can run as a cash bar, a bar tab or a three- or four-hour package from $87 per person. Room hire includes an event manager to run the day, staff for set-up, service and pack-down, and cleaning. Weekend functions generally start from 5.30pm, and final numbers and dietary requirements are due 14 days before the event.
