Christmas Party Venues in Fitzroy
December fills up fast. Between client deadlines, school holidays and everyone’s leave plans, finding one night when the whole team can celebrate takes some doing.
The Rochey has been one of Fitzroy’s go-to Christmas party venues for decades. It has a private upstairs room, a beer garden made for long summer evenings and a kitchen that knows how to feed a crowd.
Our events team will help you pick the space, build the menu and plan the night, from a relaxed Friday lunch to the big one with speeches, a DJ and a dance floor.
Just pick a date and we'll take care of the rest.
Take Over The Green Room
Upstairs at The Rochey, the Green Room gives your team an entire private floor for the night. That’s why it’s always at the top of the list for teams comparing work Christmas party venues in Melbourne.
Guests can come up through the pub or head straight upstairs via the private George Street entrance. Two rooms overlook Johnston Street. Your own bar pours from four taps, alongside cocktails and a full spirits range. There’s also a sound system, DJ equipment and a dance floor, plus a disco ball that does most of its best work in December.
The room holds up to 120 guests cocktail-style or 50 seated. Quieter lounges run off the main space, so people can catch up without shouting over the music. Screens and AV are built in for the speeches and the year-in-review slideshow, and there’s plenty of room for the Kris Kringle gifts.
Christmas Party Packages, Sorted
Our Christmas party packages are built around your numbers, your budget and how you’d like the night to run. For a cocktail-style night, go for bites made to hold in one hand and heartier dishes to keep everyone going. For a proper end-of-year dinner, sit the team down to a set menu feast.
Drinks packages cover beer, wine, cocktails and spirits. Not sure how to balance food and drinks? Our events coordinator does this every week of the silly season. Tell us what you’re after and we’ll put together a package that works.
Make It Feel Like Christmas
Bring the tinsel, the Santa hats and the office awards. Festive table touches are welcome too. Just check with the team first if you’re planning anything more elaborate, like confetti or anything that needs sticking to the walls.
Corporate Christmas Party Venues for Every Team
-
Some teams would rather finish early than stay out late. The Long Dining Room seats up to 25 for a set menu or à la carte, with the main bar and beer garden right next door for when lunch rolls into the afternoon.
-
December is beer garden season. There’s room for up to 90 among plenty of greenery, and the fully automatic roof opens for the sun or closes for a summer storm. If you’ve been looking for a cocktail party venue in Fitzroy with some fresh air, this is it. Semi-private and private bookings are available.

Tucked into a semi-secluded corner of the pub, the Bowie Bar suits up to 25 for drinks and canapés. It’s a good fit for smaller offices that want their own patch without hiring a whole floor.
-
When the whole company’s coming, partners and client thank-yous included, the Green Room is the space with room for everyone. It has a private bar, a proper dance floor and space for 120. That’s why it comes up so often among corporate Christmas party venues in Melbourne.
-
Some years December gets away from you. Plenty of teams push the celebration back to June instead, so take a look at our end-of-year party venue page for EOFY functions, fireplaces included. For client events, launches and offsites at any time of year, see our corporate event venue in Fitzroy.

The earlier the better. Friday and Saturday nights from late November through December go first, and many teams lock in their date months ahead. Midweek nights and lunches usually leave more choice.

It depends on the space, the day of the week and your package. The Green Room carries a minimum spend and the Beer Garden has a reservation hire fee. Send through your date and headcount and our events team will come back with an exact figure.
