I had my 30th birthday party at the Birdcage on Friday. The venue is fantastic for a birthday party, with a large bookable space. The whole night was super smooth and easy. Staff were very helpful. Doing music, photos, videos, and speeches were really easy. Food and beer were excellent. They even supplied candles for the cake. Definitely recommend.

Wow what an amazing 40th my twin and I had at the Bird Cage. This is my local and Phil and his team are always amazing with their customer service and just general awesomeness but the night exceeded our expectations. The food was delish, drinks were flowing, great atmosphere and vibe and amazing staff. Slick operation from booking, food platters and drinks menu to pick from, doing our own music on Spotify etc nothing was too much trouble. Our guests had the best night and all commented on what a mint venue the Bird Cage is and how fabulous the staff were. Thanks heaps team for making it such a memorable party. For anyone looking at a venue I cannot recommend these guys high enough. From Emma Wallace.

What a fantastic night, I am so grateful to the team at the Birdcage! The food was great, the service was phenomenal everyone had a fantastic night. The whole process from going to view the space to booking in my event was so smooth and the communication around the event was top notch. Great value for money for the food, my guests were raving about the quality. Being able to have our own playlist playing and the bonus of the video screens for a few funny photos was a real bonus and helped personalise the space for our night. It was above and beyond my expectations, thank you so much. Will definitely be recommending to others.

A great local join located in the Victoria Park precinct, next door to the VP Market. Plenty of parking, huge venue with a great menu of food and drinks.

Whether you are looking for a local to catch up in, or hire a private venue, this staple is one to have on the list to visit and frequent.

I was lucky enough to secure The Birdcage Tavern as the venue for my birthday party on 18 December 2021. I would wholeheartedly recommend booking your function here! The process was made super easy by quick and efficient communication from Phil. The venue has a great feel and vibe to it, it's in a beautiful historic building! The restaurant area is spacious and already had decorations up that worked well with my theme of pink and yellow. It boasts fantastic indoor and outdoor spaces, perfect for large events! Their staff were super helpful, incredibly friendly and a pleasure to deal with. The food was delicious and received rave reviews from my guests!! The sound system was great and the ability to play my own Spotify playlists meant I could tailor the evening's music exactly how I wanted it to go. Oh, and can highly recommend their cocktails!! If you are thinking about booking this place, do it now so you don't miss out!!
5 Stars!!!
