There are plenty of cheap birthday party venues for hire in the city. When exploring these venues, you should start by focusing on a few key elements:
- Choose an Affordable Venue Type: You should start your search by exploring inexpensive venue types such as community centres, parks or clubs. You can also check unconventional venues like rooftop bars or beer gardens with minimum spends during off-peak hours or function rooms at pubs.
- Don’t Overpay: Some venues will require you to spend a minimum amount on food and drinks instead of an hourly rate. This can be cost-effective if you plan on spending that amount anyway. However, you should compare minimum spends across different venues to find the best deal. If you choose to go with a venue that charges an hourly rate, try to negotiate, especially if booking during off-peak times.
- Reduce the Cost of Your Catering. If the venue allows you to bring your own food and drinks, you can save on catering costs. However, some BYO (Bring Your Own) venues might have corkage fees (charges for bringing your own alcohol). You can search for these types of venues on our platform by using the BYO filter.
There are many other strategies you can use to reduce the cost of your birthday party.

Booked Unique Heritage Ballroom at Fringe Common Rooms
This venue has got so much going for it. It would be so hard to find somewhere else that offers better value for money. The room already has a stage/professional lighting rig/sound system and private bar in the room. Not having to BYO sound and lighting equipment saves SO MUCH time and money. Plus, a permanently installed disco ball and fringe installation means the room already has a 'vibe' without needing too much beautification.

Booked Whole Venue at Sugar Glider
I had my 40th at Sugar Glider and I can not fault Will and the team. Will went above and beyond to ensure I had a magical time; right from our very first interaction he was just incredible. I had the best time, and I highly recommend this venue for any special occasion where unpretentious, funky FUN is the order of the day.

Everything went smoothly, I booked a rooftop section with mixed standing and sitting. Leela was extremely responsive and very professional, I was able to ask a bunch of questions and she was able to answer them without hesitation. Staff members on the night ran me through the night, they looked after my guest quite comfortably and treated everyone with respect. Awesome crew.
