About this space

Dining Room/Event Space is a Dining Room in The Bentleigh Social that centres on an open-plan interior populated with hanging plants.

Design: The interior pairs exposed metalwork and timber floorboards, with a tiled bar wall and rows of metal pendant lights. The layout uses a mix of small tables and taller stools to create flexible seating zones.

Features: A long service bar runs along one side of the room. A PA system and speakers support playlists or a hired DJ and the venue permits own music; a noise restriction applies. Air conditioning and venue Wi‑Fi are provided, and the space has a step‑free guest entrance, wheelchair access and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Groups of friends or colleagues seeking a relaxed, social standing reception or an informal seated meal in a casual setting.

What guests say: The space is welcoming, spacious and well decorated, with abundant greenery and industrial lighting. The event team provides responsive, helpful support for private bookings.
