A room for every rabble.

No two work Christmas parties are alike. Neither are our rooms. Rabble runs seven venues across Canberra, each with a character of its own. One team books them all.

Seven rooms, seven kinds of party

For a big pub lunch, Assembly is the people's pub on Lonsdale Street. Five spaces, from the Front Terrace for up to 30 to the Beer Garden for up to 150. Canapés are $40 a head, the Classic Banquet $50 and the Premium Banquet $60.

For a long lunch or team dinner, Corella, also in Braddon, has a low-lit dining room, a set menu and a wine list worth taking time over.

For an outdoor party, Burgermaker at Hill Station is in Hume. The Lawn takes 50 to 250, the Beer Garden 50 to 150 and The Deck up to 50, with a marquee for 150 from 23 November. The Classic is $35 a head, with a kids' package at $20 a child.

For a big night out, Fun Time Pony is a dive bar underground in the city, with a stage and room for up to 290. No one asked for subtle.

For a private cocktail bar, Parlour of Dreams is behind a closed door, with low light and room for up to 30.

For private hire, Pony Up is the burger bar one floor up at street level: the ground floor to yourselves, with smash burgers, boozy slushies and Guinness on tap, booths and high tables.

For office lunch catering, Al's Deli & Diner makes sharing boxes of stacked sandwiches to order, for pickup.

Book the long lunch and let someone else do the dishes.

One enquiry does it

Send a date and rough numbers. You don't need to choose a venue: pick Not sure yet and we'll suggest one. Food is priced per head, so everyone knows the number before the day. There's no venue hire. Some spaces and dates carry a minimum spend on food and drinks instead. You'll hear back within two business days. The deposit holds the date.

Christmas Day lands on a Friday this year, which makes Friday 18 December the last Friday before the break. December Fridays and Saturdays always go first, so send two or three dates. Every room is on Christmas parties in Canberra.

And one by the beach

On the Gold Coast, Local Burleigh is a short walk from the sand, with a beer garden for up to 80 and four Christmas menus from $45 to $70 a head. A 50% deposit confirms the booking. See Christmas functions in Burleigh Heads.

You've all earned it

The people who turned up all year deserve a proper afternoon. Tell us who's coming and we'll find the room.
