Birthday party venues in Brisbane for 16-year-olds

16-year-old parties are a different breed from the more childish parties that came before them. You’re going to (probably) be dealing with attendees of 16-year-old girls and 16-year-old boys, there may be the threat of bringing in alcohol and there is definitely going to need to be appropriate adult supervision.

For these reasons, hiring a birthday party venue in Brisbane for your 16-year-old might be the best bet. These places have security, they often have catering, they have a very strict perimeter set up and there is ample lighting and opportunities for supervisors to keep an eye on all the action.

Strike Bowling Bar

Strike Bowling Bar is a great choice for a sweet 16 party. There’s music pumping, it’s in the city and it’s really fun. Many sixteen-year-olds will get a kick out of the ‘grown up but little kid’ vibe. This is definitely a great choice if your sixteen year old is more on the active side rather than the ‘too cool’ teen. We give it the thumbs up!

Have your own party at home

Having a party at home (or at a hired hall) is a classic tried and true option. However, we’d like to let you know about the following should this be your choice.

• Read up on the laws regarding alcohol and minors are your responsibility.
• Be wary of word getting around on social media about the party.
• Seriously consider investing in security. It sounds excessive but it could make the difference between a fun night and ending up on the news the next day.
