Looking for a birthday party venue in Geelong?
If you’re on the hunt for a birthday party venue in Geelong that’s got character, convenience, and a whole lot of good vibes, you can’t go past The Sphinx Hotel. Whether it’s your 18th, 21st, 40th, or even the big 5-0, we know how to throw a party that’s fun, fuss-free and completely tailored to you.
Tucked just outside Geelong’s CBD, The Sphinx Hotel isn’t your run-of-the-mill function venue. We’re famous for our Egyptian-themed exterior (yes, that’s a giant Sphinx head you see from the road), but it’s what’s inside that really gets the party started. Think warm service, great food, flexible spaces, and a laid-back atmosphere that makes every guest feel right at home.
Versatile function spaces to suit any party size
One of the biggest challenges when planning a birthday party is finding a venue that suits your vibe and your guest list. Whether you’re inviting 20 or 120, The Sphinx Hotel has options that work. Our main function room is fully equipped with AV facilities, a dancefloor, and a private bar — perfect for speeches, slideshows, or just getting everyone up for a boogie.
If you’re after something smaller or more relaxed, we’ve also got semi-private dining areas, a spacious bistro, and an outdoor courtyard that’s ideal for afternoon catch-ups or casual drinks with mates. You tell us what you’re envisioning, and we’ll help bring it to life.
Food and drink that actually hits the spot
Let’s be honest — the food can make or break a party. That’s why we offer a wide range of catering options to suit your style and your crowd. Fancy a sit-down dinner with a classic pub menu? Done. Prefer cocktail-style canapés and grazing platters for mingling? Easy. We’ll work with you to create a menu that keeps everyone happy (and full).
Drinks are just as flexible. Set up a bar tab, choose a drinks package, or let guests pay as they go — it’s completely up to you. And if you’ve got a cake? Bring it along, and we’ll help serve it up in style.
Entertainment? We’ve got options
Want to add a bit of extra fun to the night? We’ve got live entertainment on select nights, including local bands and DJs. You’re also welcome to bring in your own music or entertainment — just chat with our events team and we’ll make it happen.
We also cater to themed parties, so if you're thinking of a fancy dress night, retro theme, or something completely off-the-wall, we’re all for it. Our venue already brings a unique Egyptian twist, but we’re happy to lean into any theme that gets the party started.
Family-friendly and fuss-free
Got kids on the guest list? No stress. The Sphinx is a family-friendly venue, and our team is experienced in making sure younger guests are looked after too. High chairs, kid-friendly menu options, and space to roam are all part of the deal.
Best of all, we make the whole process simple. From the moment you book to the last guest leaving, our events team takes care of the details — so you can focus on enjoying the night instead of running around managing it.
Easy to find, easy to enjoy
Located on Thompson Road in North Geelong, The Sphinx is just minutes from the city centre with plenty of parking available on-site. Your guests won’t be chasing Ubers or circling side streets looking for a park — just rock up, raise a glass, and let the good times roll.
