It was the best decision to have our Christmas party in Father’s Office Downtown! Anna was so responsive and accommodating with our requests in organising our event, and the staff were very much considerate and efficient. Plus, it felt more personal and intimate when they took the time to print our logo on our entrance and menu. We had the best time! Would definitely recommend.

About Father's Office Downtown - Flinders Lane

Father's Office Downtown - Flinders Lane is a Trusted Tagvenue Partner, validated by the Tagvenue team with a record of successful bookings on the platform.

Father’s Office Downtown is our 2nd location from our Father’s Office concept. Our original location on Little Lonsdale St, QV is 10 years old this month.

Father’s Office is based on prohibition Americana in the 1920’s
when the consumption of alcohol was disallowed. Speakeasies became
the place to be and underground bootleg liquor (and the debauchery that
follows) thrived.

Expect a sprawling 400-person late-night venue serving Father’s Office
all-Americana cuisine that has been loved by so many.
Head downstairs to party the night away where you can mingle late into
the night with a cocktail in hand. With a 7am Liquor License, you can
party your weekends away!

Each private space has been uniquely designed for 10 to 200 guests
over 2 levels.

Father’s Office Downtown has some elements of its original concept but
with a more contemporary feel to fit the Flinders Lane market. Wallpapers
are sourced from the UK, wall sconces are made in the Netherlands using
Tiffany glass and the stunning Murano Chandelier from Italy.

From our menu to our decor, we can ensure you’ll never have an
experience quite like the Father’s Office experience.

Usually booked for
Party

Typically for 20-30 guests and costs about $3,300.
