Planning a big bash but have a few different groups to think about? Hardimans Hotel serves pub classics, wood-fired pizzas plus all the cocktails. With that combo, both the uni crew and your partner's pals can dine together in harmony.
Sometimes a knees-up is just what a special milestone requires, and The Last Jar literally provides that. Come here if you're in need of unique birthday party ideas, and have a boogie to some traditional tunes from Ireland, Scotland and even the Czech Republic.
CityDays Melbourne is a great shout when considering unique birthday ideas for adults in Melbourne. Get involved and explore our metropolitan city with immersive games, which require visiting cool cafés and pubs. That's our kind of challenge.
At Flight Club Melbourne, darts take on a whole new level of excitement. With a mix of nostalgic gameplay and futuristic, self-scoring dartboards, this social space is designed to be as much about fun as it is about friendly competition.
Challenge friends to multiplayer mini-games, where the tech does all the scoring, while you focus on your aim. Hungry? Choose from a wide selection of sharable plates, hearty pizzas, and delicious cocktails. The venue also serves up a well-curated list of local and global beers, wines, and spirits to keep the fun flowing.
For fans of juicy beats and basslines, birthday night out ideas in Melbourne don't get much better than Angel Music Bar. This cool venue is an audiophile's haven, so you'll need to be quick if you decide this is where to celebrate someone's big day.
Sip some highballs, grab a tasty jaffle and toast someone's special day in style at Bad Frankie. We love the inventive cocktail menu which boasts a load of quirky mixes like the Golden Flip, made of butter vodka, wattle toffee liqueur and a whole egg.
Dancers and night owls listen up, as your best place to celebrate a birthday in Melbourne might be in Sub Club. Head to the basement dancefloor and soak up eclectic mixes by some of the world's finest purveyors of techno, dub and house music.
Fun activities in Melbourne for adults can be an expensive game. So why not enjoy some dollar-friendly drinks in The Shady Lady? Not only is it reasonably priced, but the vibes are also immaculate, thanks to some neon signs, a cute garden and vintage artwork.
