Always up to date with the latest trends, but still boasting its own distinctive vibe, Collingwood is packed full with hip pubs – and there are new ones popping up all the time! Artistic, independent and full of funky spots – Fitzroy is our favourite area of Melbourne to meet up over a nice cold pint. Boasting Victorian and Art Deco vibes, Windsor is the place to go if you’re searching for a pub with a hint of the old-world charm.

Many pubs in Melbourne offer all-inclusive function packages, with prices typically ranging between $25 and $60 per guest. Some others are simply priced with a minimum spend on food and/or drinks.

Read on to find a few tips to help you plan the perfect gathering in one of these inspiring event spaces.

Top Events to Host in Pub Private Rooms

  • Birthdays – Whether it’s an intimate dinner or a dance-til-you-drop party, pubs offer the right vibe and space. These rooms are great for food spreads, music, and plenty of pints!
  • Graduation Parties – Celebrate achievements big and small with flexible packages, finger foods, and a chilled-out setting.

Tagvenue’s Top Picks for Function Rooms in Melbourne’s Beer Gardens, Gastro Pubs & Historic Pubs:

Railway Hotel Fitzroy North – Fitzroy North
A charming historic pub that nails the "Melbourne local" feel. The function room is cosy and intimate, perfect for laid-back get-togethers with a craft beer in hand.

The National Hotel – Richmond
A rich history and a gorgeous courtyard beer garden make this gastro pub a must for any event. Their function room is spot-on for birthdays, corporate dos, or just a Sunday session that got out of hand (in the best way).

Radium Bar – Brunswick East 

This bar nails that laid-back Melbourne beer garden vibe, with fairy lights, rooftop breezes, and a cosy, old-school charm. Perfect for casual parties and relaxed functions, it’s where cold pints and good times come standard.

Handy Tips for Hiring Pub Function Rooms in Melbourne

  • Save on venue hire – Many pubs work on a minimum spend basis, so you don’t pay a hire fee — just cover food and drinks.
  • Ask about BYO – Some venues allow you to bring your own catering or drinks, but always double-check about corkage fees.
  • Plan your numbers early – Send invites and ask for RSVPs about two months in advance so you can book a space that fits everyone comfortably.
  • Consider location – Pubs in the CBD are super central but can be pricier and have limited parking. Suburban spots like Mooroolbark offer more space and easier access.

Whether you’re after a classic corner pub or a swanky craft beer bar, Melbourne’s got the perfect spot waiting for you. Browse our top picks for pubs with function rooms in Melbourne and lock in your event today. Cheers to good times ahead!

Booked Feather Lounge at The Emerald Peacock

Great service, canapes were of high quality, staff were polite, helpful and happy which was a breath of fresh air. The venue was in a great location and I have had such good feedback from all my guests. Particularly found the no minimum spend fantastic especially in these times where the cost of living is hard for all.

Booked Whole Brewery at Inner North Brewing Company
5.0
This is a fantastic venue. The staff were wonderful! Liz is a star and I couldn’t have asked for a better venue. I booked this venue with Liz from the U.K. I was visiting Melbourne and looking for a venue. Liz was so helpful in answering my questions. We booked out 90% of the bar for a memorial and family get together. It was the perfect venue. Family came by tram and train. And parking on the street was easy as it was a Sunday. Everyone was really pleased with the venue.

Booked Champagne Lounge at La Di Da
5.0
Everything about LaDiDa was perfect. Barry helped us choose the champagne lounge for my birthday party and it was the ideal space. He was professional and communicated extremely well. I loved that there was a minimum spend so I could manage my budget. When the party started everything went smoothly. The staff were absolutely beautiful and nothing was too much. The sound system and audio visual equipment worked perfectly. Our friends and family were impressed and said they would definitely book the venue for their own functions. Thanks Barry.
