Birthday Party Ideas In Melbourne, VIC?
so my 20th is coming up in November and i need help coming up with somewhere to have my birthday. it will most likely start at a restaurant and head somewhere after that. i dont like clubbing and want something slighty more special than going off to a pub. atm, im leaning towards karaoke or maybe a lounge.
any ideas would be appreciated.=]
Melbourne has so many exciting and unique venues that plain ol’ clubbing and pubbing would be a waste!
Can you handle the cold? How about Chill On then? Melbourne’s first ice bar! Everyone gets to rug up in ski jackets, gloves and woolen boots (*cough* Ever fashionable uggies *cough*) and brave the -10 degrees Celsius Ice Bar for thirty minutes (with a maximum of 34 of your closest friends). You can then head upstairs to the normal temperature bar or head out to hit the town… It’s also right near the intersection of Russell & Lonsdale Streets, so you could easily eat before at Stalactites (The infamous 24 hour greek restaurant) or Chinatown.
Chi Lounge – Think opulent opium den in the far-east with an inner-city Melbourne location AND karaoke… and they’ll serve you drinks or tapas… and it’s just off Chinatown in the CBD. The best way to warm up or rock out with your friends!
Like beer? Maybe the James Squire Brew-house at the Portland Hotel will have what you’re after! With a microbrewery on site (as well as the normal pub essentials like a pool table and a few locals) you’ll be sure to be remembered by your beer loving friends.
Feeling kinky? Maybe you’d like your own burlesque dancers showing their art-form in-front of you and all your friends at the Burlesque Bar on the vibrant Johnston Street in Fitzroy (only a few minutes by tram from the city centre, and a four minute walk to Brunswick Street).
I’ve tried to choose places that don’t have super loud music and will let you chat away with your friends for a really memorable night out. The suggestions all came from myBirthdayVenue.com – where you can contact the venue managers directly online.
Best of luck and I hope the birthday rocks!
Australia – Melbourne!
