Milton and South Brisbane are two districts packed with atmospheric outdoor balconies and beer gardens, where you can welcome the new decade in style. There’s also a lovely range of bars and diners with affordable food and drink packages. If you’re keen on a more intimate and up-market birthday celebration with close friends and family, check out the CBD’s luxurious range of private restaurants, while Fortitude Valley is home to some of the city’s finest wine cellars.
Concerning price, minimum spend is by far the most commonly used pricing method for birthdays, with fees starting at $250, rising to $7,500. Per person packages are also relatively popular and range between $16 to $75. Remember the prices may change depending on the size of the room, number of people attending, as well as the day and the time of the event. (All data from Tagvenue.)
Depending on what kind of party you’re throwing, you will need a different sort of venue, but here are our top picks:
Pawn & Co. in Fortitude Valley is a quirky, vintage-style cocktail bar ideal for smaller groups, while Lefty’s Music Hall is known for its live music and Americana vibe. If you're after something flexible and creative, Align Gallery in Red Hill offers a distinctive artsy space with lots of personality. These venues are frequently praised for their atmosphere and unique décor, helping you throw a party that doesn’t feel like every other night out.
Many venues offer per-person pricing or minimum spend packages tailored for birthdays. For example, The Prince Consort offers packages starting at $50 per person that typically include food and drinks, while Prohibition and The Fitzgerald have minimum spend setups that let you customise catering and drinks to your group’s size. These packages are popular for simplifying planning while still offering a premium experience.
Turning 30? Brisbane’s the spot to celebrate with a bang! From funky South Bank lofts to breezy riverfront terraces in New Farm, the city’s venues suit big bashes or cosy dinners. Here’s how to plan a memorable 30th birthday party in Brisbane.
Pick Your Party Style
Want a lively blowout? Book a West End bar with a DJ spinning your favorite tunes. Prefer a chill night? Choose a Fortitude Valley eatery with bold Queensland flavors or live acoustic vibes. For fun twists, try a themed party (think retro 90s or tropical luau) or an outdoor BBQ at Kangaroo Point’s riverfront parks. Brisbane’s sunny weather begs for it!
Plan Smart
Jot down essentials: guest count, food (BBQ or catering?), and activities (karaoke or lawn games?). Set a budget early. Are you going for a potluck or minimum-spend venues to keep costs low. Invite guests ASAP, especially for peak dates like summer weekends, to ensure your crew can join.
