That’s where you can watch the stunning fireworks displays at midnight, too! Rooftop venues, terraces, and outdoor spaces are a great pick to make the most of the night.

In case you’re looking for a more peaceful location, perhaps for a family-friendly New Year’s party or an affordable bash, consider suburbs further away from the city centre. Check out venues in Chermside, Albany Creek, or Boondall in the north or Sunnybank in the south. And let’s not forget about Manly, if you’re looking for a beachside party!

Some of our recommendations are:

• Zuma at Voco Hotel Brisbane City Centre on North Quay - A classy function room with sweeping views of the South Bank skyline and the Brisbane River, this venue is sure to impress. It can fit up to 200 guests.
• Pool Side at Ovolo The Valley on Ann Street - If you’d like to welcome the new year as you overlook the bustling cityscape of Fortitude Valley and relax in a pool, this one’s for you! You can share this experience with up to 60 guests.

Many of them do! You’ll find some great NYE party spaces with package deals and special offers all around the city, for example The Courtyard at Industry Beans in Newstead (from $35 per person), Jeavons Pocket at The Smug Fig in Stones Corner (from $25 per person). (All data from Tagvenue.)
