Ready to celebrate the big 4-0? When getting started with your party planning it always helps to consider your guest list. Maybe you will need to invite families, perhaps a kid friendly party is what you need? Or perhaps you are inviting older guests? If these types are on your guest list then a dance club or a late night bar crawl might be unsuitable. Instead consider a restaurant or pub function room with a convivial atmosphere. Maybe you’re looking for something with a view? Nature-loving Brisbane has venues that will let you ponder the beauty of the outdoors with a cocktail in hand! So whatever you have in mind for your celebration, Tagvenue’s list of Brisbane’s top 40th birthday party venues will surely come in handy.

Depending on what you’re looking for, we can recommend several different neighbourhoods. Brisbane’s CBD is where you will find elegant restaurants and contemporary cafes. If you’re looking for a gastronomical experience, then Milton, with its plethora of international restaurants, will satisfy the foodie in you. Fortitude Valley is where you can go for a wild night at a club. Head to South Brisbane, adjacent to the Brisbane River, for waterfront venues.
There are a lot of ways to make your birthday celebrations more fun. You can create a theme for your party and encourage your guests to dress up. The theme can be anything from a famous movie or TV show to a specific era in history. If having a themed birthday isn’t your thing, you can incorporate some games into your celebration, such as mini golf or even board games. You can hire a professional photographer to capture the emotions of the night or hire a photo booth to have fun taking pics on your own. Lastly, karaoke is always a hit, so give it a go for a fun-filled 40th birthday party.
The team at the Prince Consort were super helpful in bringing my event to life. They were easy to communicate with and helped with all my questions and any changes I wanted.
Olivia was so lovely & genuinely wanted to make everything as easy as possible. Clear instructions/timing prompts throughout. Recommended other businesses for cake etc too to take the guesswork out. Very flexible with their catering arrangements too. Definitely recommend!
Perfect space to hold a party, plenty of areas to hang out inside and out, and it came with awesome audio equipment to use.
Was an awesome venue to have a birthday my guests thoroughly enjoyed themselves with the space and activities.
Fantastic Night, thanks to Mick and team for hosting my 40th Birthday. Everyone was so friendly and we had a great night!
Everything, I have absolutely nothing to fault! From the time of booking with Tracey through to dealing with Ben on the night of my event, everything was perfect. I will definitely be returning to Mr Mista!
The Laneway (the Mix Bar) was a fantastic venue for my 40th birthday party. The venue managers were friendly and helpful and communicated well. The bar staff were lovely too and there was a great selection of drinks. We had plenty of time for the event and it was very accommodating of children (we were able to close the gates). I would highly recommend this venue.
