Christmas Parties in Melbourne CBD
Work Christmas parties from thirty to three hundred, in four private spaces inside a heritage building on Exhibition Street.
Every space has its own bar and its own character, so thirty in the Rintel Room and three hundred across the venue are both a proper night out rather than a function room with tinsel in it. Shared Italian menus, maccheroni made fresh each morning, and a walled courtyard for when the room gets warm.
Private spaces from 30 to 300 guestsSet menus from $55 per head · Beverage packages from $45
