Fitzroy Street pubs and Acland Street bars a tram ride from town
St Kilda is a tram ride from town and the function spaces make the most of the bay. Fitzroy Street and Acland Street have the pub and bar rooms, while the waterfront venues along Jacka Boulevard suit smaller sit-down events. Parking on a Saturday night is grim. Tell your guests to catch the 96. About half add a bonus $100 bar tab, so check each listing.

None of the 14 spaces in St Kilda charge for a security guard, so that cost doesn't apply here. 11 of the 14 will let you meet the minimum spend with a beverage package. Every one of them accepts a bar tab. Costs outside the venue quote usually include DJ hire, entertainment, specialised catering and decorations.
6 of the 14 spaces in St Kilda include a bonus bar tab when you enquire through Partystar. That's 1 at $200 and 5 at $100. The venue adds it to your bar on the night once you meet its stated requirement, which is either the hire charge, the minimum spend or the minimum guest numbers. See how the bonus bar tab works for the full detail.
