Birthday Party · 60 guests · April 2025
I had my 40th at Sugar Glider and I can not fault Will and the team. Will went above and beyond to ensure I had a magical time; right from our very first interaction he was just incredible. I had the best time, and I highly recommend this venue for any special occasion where unpretentious, funky FUN is the order of the day.
Nothing. Everything was perfect.

40th Birthday Party · 50 guests · December 2025
Could not fault Will and the team! Had my 40th birthday at the venue and it was nothing but fabulous (kind of makes you want to own a place as cool as this)! The communication was excellent and nothing was too much trouble. Could not recommend any more highly!
