There’s something about Sydney’s Eastern Suburbs that makes events feel instantly elevated. Maybe it’s the proximity to the harbour, the beaches, or just that relaxed, polished atmosphere that the area does so well. From EOFY parties and corporate functions to birthdays, conferences and long team lunches, these venues strike the balance between style and ease.
Here are some of our favourite Eastern Suburbs venues for events of all kinds.
InterContinental Sydney Double Bay
Cross Street, Double Bay
A go-to for events that want a touch of luxury without feeling over the top. InterContinental Sydney Double Bay offers versatile conference spaces alongside its iconic rooftop, which overlooks the harbour and the charming streets of Double Bay below. It’s the kind of venue that works just as well for a polished corporate event as it does for sunset drinks or an EOFY party that rolls into the evening.
Royal Hotel Paddington
Glenmore Road, Paddington
A local favourite that always delivers. The rooftop is bright, airy, and made for long lunches or relaxed cocktail parties, while the downstairs spaces bring a more classic pub feel, with cold drinks, live sport, and elevated pub classics. It’s an easy choice for team drinks, birthdays or casual corporate gatherings that don’t need to feel too formal. Whether you’re here for a pint, a bite, or to catch the game, Royal Hotel Paddington has you covered.
NUMBER 10
Neild Ave, Rushcutters Bay
Tucked away in Rushcutters Bay and just minutes from the CBD, NUMBER 10 feels like one of those venues you stumble across and want to keep to yourself. Set inside a beautifully restored, design-led space, it blends heritage details with a modern, polished feel that works for everything from private dinners to brand launches and corporate events. It’s a true blank canvas, but not in a cold way.
The Lawns of Double Bay
Kiaora Road, Double Bay
For something outdoors and a little more playful, The Lawns of Double Bay is hard to beat. Think picturesque landscaping, open space and a setting that works beautifully for everything from corporate events to social celebrations. It’s relaxed, scenic and ideal for events that want a bit of fresh air and flexibility. With expansive lawns, flexible event setups and a beautiful harbourside backdrop, it’s easy to tailor the space to suit your event.
Zest Waterfront Venues – Point Piper
Located at the prestigious Royal Motor Yacht Club, Zest brings a refined but relaxed feel to events. The space leans into a relaxed, coastal style with light-filled interiors, timber finishes and uninterrupted views across Rose Bay. It’s known for its standout catering and flexible event layouts, so it works just as well for elegant gala dinners as it does for cocktail-style celebrations. It’s a popular pick for weddings, gala dinners and corporate events!
44North
O'Brien Street, Bondi Beach
Just a short walk from Bondi Beach, 44North has that easy, come-as-you-are energy that makes events feel instantly relaxed. It’s part bar, part local hangout, with great cocktails, a social upstairs space and just enough buzz to keep things interesting. The private level upstairs works well for birthdays, team drinks or smaller corporate events, with flexible layouts and a setup that’s easy to make your own.
Royal Randwick
Alison Rd, Randwick
More than just a racecourse, Royal Randwick offers a range of impressive event spaces with views across the track and skyline. It’s ideal for larger events like conferences, gala dinners or EOFY celebrations, especially if you’re looking for something with scale and a point of difference. With expansive indoor and outdoor spaces, flexible layouts and on-site catering, it’s well set up to handle events of all sizes with ease.
Bonnibel
Hollywood Ave, Bondi Junction
Bonnibel is the kind of place that naturally slows things down. The room feels warm and inviting for relaxed celebrations. Their menu takes classic pub favourites and gives them a fresh, modern spin. From standout brunch dishes to flavour-packed mains, plus a curated mix of beers and signature cocktails, there’s something for every craving. It’s perfect for birthdays, long lunches or smaller gatherings where the focus is on good food, wine and great conversation.
Coogee Bay Hotel
Coogee Bay Rd, Coogee
An Eastern Suburbs institution that works for just about anything.

Sydney Seaplanes Lounge
Lyne Park, Rose Bay
Right on Rose Bay, Sydney Seaplanes Lounge brings something a little different. The waterfront setting is already a drawcard, but the option to include scenic seaplane flights makes it stand out even more. Plus, enjoy a Mediterranean-inspired menu featuring fresh, seasonal ingredients! It’s ideal for corporate events or special occasions that want to feel a bit more memorable.
Wine Library
Oxford St, Woollahra
A hidden gem in Woollahra, Wine Library is made for intimate gatherings. With a focus on great wine and seasonal food, it’s perfect for private dinners, birthday parties, small celebrations or corporate events.
