Birthday Celebrations
From birthday dinners to milestone occasions
From birthday dinner to drinks with friends or a milestone celebration with the whole crowd, Clifton Hill Hotel has a space to suit the occasion. Named Best Pub & Bar at the 2026 AHA (Vic) State Awards, our Inner North pub brings together flexible spaces, generous food and drink, and plenty of atmosphere for birthdays of all sizes.
Whether you're planning a 21st, 30th, 40th or simply another year worth celebrating, join us in Clifton Hill, within easy reach of Fitzroy North, Northcote and Fairfield.
Small Groups
1-10 Guests
For a birthday lunch, dinner or drinks, book a table for up to 10 guests and celebrate over your favourite pub classics with friends and family.
Large Groups
10-35 guests
Bringing a bigger group together without needing a private venue? We welcome birthday bookings for 10 to 35 guests in our Restaurant or Barrel Room, so you can enjoy the atmosphere of the venue while having plenty of space for your group.
Choose from flexible set dining menus designed for sharing and settle in for a long lunch, birthday dinner or an evening of drinks and celebrations.
Private Birthday Parties
Up to 200 Guests
For milestone celebrations, our private and semi-private function spaces offer plenty of flexibility for larger birthday parties, from relaxed drinks and canapés to seated dinners and cocktail-style celebrations.
Celebrate a 21st, 30th, 40th and beyond in the Barrel Room, Side Bar or across our larger interconnected event spaces, with options for a private bar, your own music and room to dance.
