Melbourne Restaurants and Bars with Private Dining Rooms
Made for long lazy lunches and birthday dinners to remember.
Sometimes you just want your own space, especially if you're celebrating, and these Melbourne restaurants and bars with private rooms will gladly shut you away. Whether it's your best mate's surprise birthday, your annual Christmas hootenanny, or you're, say, Drake and would like to damn well enjoy your tour dinner in peace, these venues have your own private room ready to go.
From the sleek downstairs hideaway (with optional karaoke) at Supernormal, to the cosy confines of your own dining room at Neighbourhood Wine, these private havens can be all yours. Remember, what happens in the port cave stays in the port cave.
