Functions & Christmas Parties on Flinders Lane
A Melbourne CBD Speakeasy for 10 to 150 Guests · Bookings Essential
Whatever Christmas party you want, we've got the room for it. Follies is the hidden 1920s speakeasy in the basement at 121 Flinders Lane, beneath Father's Office Downtown: gold tiling, green velvet booths, UK wallpaper and Tiffany sconces glowing low. Take one space or the whole basement, for 10 to 150 guests, any day of the week.
Corporate end-of-year nights, team drinks, engagements, hen's, 30ths and 50ths, product launches and PR nights all fit down here. There's a 100-inch projector for the speeches and a DJ booth with a dancefloor for after them.

The Courtyard: up to 40 guests (21 seated), a hidden, heated beer garden behind the bar.

Christmas your way
A long sit-down dinner in the Emerald Room, canapés and drinks in the courtyard, or the whole basement with the dancefloor going: tell us the party you have in mind and our team will shape the night around it. Bigger group? Father's Office Downtown upstairs has more rooms, set menus and a Christmas menu, all on its Flinders Lane functions page.
