FAQs about Top Party Bars in Melbourne
The Melbourne CBD leads the way for party bar bookings, with many venues having large capacities and easy transport links. Places like The Emerald Peacock and La Di Da are centrally convenient and have beautiful indoor and rooftop spaces. Prahran is another favourite with its lively bars and stylish interiors at venues like Onesixone. For something more casual or a chill party, Fitzroy and Northcote are popular for smaller gatherings in quirky, unique bars.
You'll find rooftop lounges, cocktail bars, pubs, moody basements and glam clubs. Some venues, like Cookie in the CBD, offer multiple room options to suit both seated and standing events, while others like Pre Drinks Bar in Prahran are perfect for casual parties with music and mingling. Most offer standing and seated capacities, including bar access and sound systems.
Yes, and not just random dive bars. The Purple Emerald Lounge Bar in Northcote has a $5 minimum spend on some spaces (seriously), and it's a legit venue with character. The Emerald Peacock in Melbourne CBD also has event packages that start as low as $21 per person. You can also score great deals in places like Richmond (LA 69 Restaurant & Bar at $400 per session) or Collingwood if you're open to weekday events or earlier time slots. Don't sleep on those afternoon sessions, either. They're budget-friendly and great for parties.
