FAQs about Top Birthday Party Venues in Melbourne
Private venues in Melbourne, particularly bars, pubs, and birthday restaurants, often require a minimum spend on food and drinks. Rates typically start from $800 for small private dining rooms and can escalate to several thousand dollars for larger birthday celebrations. If you opt to hire a venue outright, private hire fees in Melbourne range between $300 and $1000 per session, depending on the venue's size and location. Alternatively, for convenient birthday parties in Sydney, consider selecting an all-inclusive birthday party package, available at prices ranging from $21 to $80 per guest. This range of options ensures there's a suitable venue and package for every budget and event type in Melbourne and Sydney.
Here are a few birthday party function rooms recommended by our users:
- Basement at La Di Da - Located near Flagstaff Station, this room has capacity for up to 150 standing or 60 seated guests with an alcohol license until 5:00 am. It features a DJ setup, a dedicated fully stocked bar, and private bathrooms. It is available for hire for a minimum spend of $2500.

The best time to hire a small birthday party venue is about a month or even more before the event. If you're planning a larger private celebration or looking for one of Melbourne's most popular party spaces, starting the search between 3 and 6 months beforehand is a good idea. The faster, the better, and you will be sure that your favourite spot will be available!
We recommend contacting the venue manager to discuss the details of the hire. Each private venue will have different policies regarding external beverages or catering.
