Everyone loves a dinner party and if you say you don’t you’re lying!
When you think about it; a dinner party is just an excuse to get dressed up and enjoy great conversation with those that mean the most to you, while sipping on good wine and eating delicious food.

With amazing city views and located by the water, it doesn’t get much better than Ludlow Bar & Dining Room. With 14 flexible spaces, this Southbank venue is perfect for intimate gatherings and larger celebrations.

Hophaus is another amazing venue to host a dinner or cocktail party with a choice of areas like our Garden Terrace with sweeping views over the river and city, Dining Room Terrace or one of choose our inside areas.

Organise pre’s in a venue close to the Melbourne CBD and let the group decide the itinerary for the evening.  Venues like BearBrass Southbank are perfect for this sort of outing.   Snack on pizzas, sip on local and craft beers or work your way through the cocktail menu.   Or perhaps The Toff is more your style on Level 3 of Curtin House Swanston St, kick back in carriage side with Thai snacks, extensive cocktail, wine & beer menu and cool vibes late into the night.
