I organized a surprise 40th birthday party. We had the front part of the bar with our DJ. We had about 60 people there which felt a bit full at the start but once the dancing started it was perfect. We had an unforgettable night and Phil and the team looked after us really well. Food and cocktails were great. Can only recommend the place.

Decent bar, good selection of cocktails.. have a good 3 for $45 cocktail deal with limited selection of cocktails but is good value for money. Location is great and good atmosphere.. plenty of space out back..

Hosted my 21st birthday at Purple Emerald Lounge and I could not have been happier! My partner had held his 21st here as well and we both had such an amazing night because of them! Prior to the event, the email correspondence was prompt and all my queries and clarifications were answered! On the night, all the staff were so lovely and catered to every need. From the complementary cocktails and shots as part of the birthday package, to the catering, and features such as the TV, beautiful fairy lights, and music, it far exceeded my expectations for such an affordable price! Would definitely recommend for any event or just to enjoy the relaxed atmosphere and affordable food and drinks!

I recently had part of my 40th birthday celebrations at the Purple Emerald. I left it a bit late to book anything so all that was available was the very front section of the bar, I was a bit hesitant but went with it in the end. It ended up being such a fantastic night, the space worked really well, I had about 20 people and we were able to mingle across both sections easy enough. Phil and the staff were great in terms of communication prior to the night and great service on the night itself. I would highly recommend. Thanks Phil and team.

I had a function at the Purple Emerald and it was so much more affordable, with great perks, than a lot of other options I had found. The staff at Purple Emerald were fantastic, everything ran smoothly, the food and cocktails were great. Also, it is a place that is considerate and inclusive, mindful of accessibility which I really appreciated.
