Birthday Party Venues in Port Kembla

Choosing the Right Birthday Party Venue

On Wentworth Street, Port Kembla's main street, The Iron Yampi is a modern Australian restaurant and wine bar that turns its back rooms into a birthday venue with no room hire fee. Its kitchen works with produce from nearby growers and makers, and the bar holds more than 80 Australian wines alongside house-made cocktails.

How a birthday grows through the venue:

Covered beer garden – the main function space, around 35 to 50 standing
Beer garden plus bottom room – weather cover and space for up to about 60
Whole venue – the main dining room joins in, for up to 100 guests
Standing grazing menus – three tiers, the first from $35 per person
Seated menus – one, two or three courses served alternate-drop

Exclusive use of the beer garden and bottom room needs at least 40 guests, and the main room is offered to groups of 80 or more. The team suggests emailing first to book a time to talk the party through.

A 30th or 40th with friends – a grazing party in the beer garden, with arancini, skewers, squid, sliders and prawn toast after an antipasto starter
A family dinner – an alternate-drop menu of up to three courses keeps a seated celebration simple
A food-lover's birthday – the five- or seven-course feed me menu, with an optional wine pairing
A big milestone – taking the entire venue for up to 100 guests
