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!

Will was very communicative leading up to the event and answered any questions that we had. The bar staff were super welcoming and accommodating and made sure everything went smoothly for our special night!
