You can find rooftop bars, waterfront restaurants and small private dining rooms. Venues like Frontside Food & Wine in Port Melbourne offer large open spaces, while those like Rock Sugar in South Yarra provide a more private dining experience for smaller groups.
For popular venues in the Melbourne CBD, where private dining spaces are often booked for corporate functions or celebratory dinners, reserve your space 3 to 6 months in advance. If you're planning a large-scale event during peak seasons like the Spring Racing Carnival or the Australian Open in January, you should book 6 months to a year ahead. Peak holiday periods, such as Christmas and New Year's, often see venues booked out well in advance, so the sooner you secure a date, the more options you'll have.
South Yarra is ideal for group dining events that need a central, well-connected location near Chapel Street, with venues like LK Hospitality accommodating large groups. Docklands is perfect for events requiring spacious venues with waterfront views, such as Berth and Renzo's Bar, making it popular for corporate functions and larger celebrations. Richmond has a mix of casual and formal options, like Concrete Boots Bar, and is conveniently located near the MCG, making it a popular spot for pre- or post-event dining.
