If you’re looking for more affordable options in Melbourne, you can look for unique Xmas venues that operate on a minimum spend basis. You won’t have to pay for hiring the venue but are agreeing that you and your guests will spend a set amount on food and drinks. You can also look for holiday party venues that have a BYO policy, where you pay for the hire of the venue but bring food or drinks on your own. This can be a great way to save money on your party.
When looking for an unusual venue in Melbourne, you can never go wrong with starting your search in the CBD. It’s a great spot for an office holiday party, but its central location is also convenient for all sorts of quirky events. St Kilda is worth checking if you’re after more historical venues. Also, if you walk down Chapel Street in South Yarra, you will find plenty of venues that are perfect for quirky and unconventional celebrations.
Planning a memorable Christmas party starts with choosing the right venue. Here are the key factors to consider:
Stuck for ideas? Here are some ideas and unique Christmas party venues to host it in Melbourne.
Waterfront venues: One of the most popular Christmas party venues for Melbourne is a venue with a waterfront view. It could be at one of the many quirky venues along the Yarra River at South Wharf, Docklands or Federation Square. Try Hophaus in Southbank or Frontside Food & Wine in Port Melbourne for great views and summer vibes.
Party outdoors: Instead of a formal indoor party, why not head outdoors for your event? It’s the middle of summer, after all! Hire a band, set up a stage, arrange some food trucks and create your own office Christmas party festival. A rooftop BBQ at Two Hands Rooftop Bar or a mini festival setup at The Fitzroy Beer Garden. Most outdoor venues have indoor backups.
Themed party: This kind of party is a great option for large corporations where most of the year is about meeting deadlines and working overtime. A themed dress-up allows everyone to chill out and get silly for the night, transforming the celebration into a unique and offbeat Christmas gathering. Venues like The Grace Darling Hotel have the atmosphere to pull it off with no extra decor needed.
Andrew and his Team were incredible from the get go! We celebrated our work Christmas Party at Concrete Boots and I couldn't fault anything. The service, the food, the venue ticked all the boxes. We can't thank Andrew enough for making our celebration a success.
We had our staff Christmas lunch at The Moat. From the beginning, Rosie was responsive and helpful, & allowed us a lot of flexibility with our booking. We very much enjoyed both the food and the space, and staff were both efficient and helpful. The Moat catered extremely well for our gluten/dairy free guest and everyone enjoyed the food. We had a lovely time.
The venue was perfect, great location, good atmosphere, the food was delicious and the service from all of the staff was excellent.
Barry and his team were excellent, there was an issue with our meal but they were quick to respond and handled the situation beyond our expectations.
Service and flexibiility of staff was great, food was amazing. Management team are super quick to communicate.

The organisation and support from their even manager Bea was amazing in the lead up and planning stages. The event night itself went really we, food was delicious, atmosphere was great and just a really good night overall. 10/10 would recommend.
