One Fish Two Fish
Il Molo | Bulimba
Riverviews? Check. Gorgeous Italian fare? Check.
Il Molo makes booking your hen’s party easy, with a variety of spaces available including the deck, the laneway, or the whole venue. The hard part will be choosing how you’d like to feast, with two- and three-course menus, canapés, or rustic Italian share plates all on offer.
Ling Lings | Fortitude Valley
Chow down on dumplings, bao and cheeseburger spring rolls till late at this neon-lit, Hong Kong-inspired party spot. Not only are the vibes impeccable, the music loud, and the food delicious, but the cocktails happen to be available by the glass, teapot, or soup bowl.
Mr Percival’s | CBD
For a more low-key outing, nab a table at Mr Percival’s and enjoy drinks and nibbles by the water! Percy’s takes bookings for groups of eight or more, so gather the girls and get feasting on share plates and wood-fired pizzas, washed down with a spritz or five.
Osbourne Hotel | Fortitude Valley
The Glasshouse function room at The Osbourne is practically made for a hen’s night. You’ll feel like you’re in your own little oasis in the middle of the Valley as you sip on bubbles and nibble on delicious canapés!
The Osbourne offers four hen’s packages, ranging from the wine & dine package, the party gal package (guilty!), a cocktail making course, and an elegant high tea.
Sixteen Antlers | CBD
How does rooftop views, cocktails, and tapas in a private booth sound?
Make Sixteen Antlers a stop on your hen’s bar hop or get settled in for a night there, and see why this is one of our favourites!

Boundary Hotel | West End
Full of character and charm, The Boundary is a West End staple, and one of Brissy’s best spots for a party. Go for drinks in the picture-perfect backyard, or hire a space all to yourselves and enjoy modern Aussie bites and free-flowing booze.
Rico | CBD
Views for days, oysters, paella and sangria–just a few of our favourite things. Rico is the Spanish/Latin riverside restaurant of our dreams, and makes for the perfect spot to celebrate.
Yeah the girls.
