Restaurant Birthday Party Ideas

Restaurant birthday parties are ideal if you don't have enough space at home for a party, or want a more formal event for a change from your typical parties. Hosting your birthday party in a restaurant gives friends and family a good reason to get out on the town and enjoy good food, drinks and company. Many restaurants accommodate parties with private rooms or large "event" tables and special service--as long as you make all the necessary arrangements in advance. Does this Spark an idea?

Hibachi

Hibachi restaurants offer more than delicious Asian meals--they're known for the entertainment value they add to the dining experience. In addition to the inherent fun factor, these venues are also ideal for restaurant birthday parties because the tables already seat around 8 to 10 people each, without requiring any special arrangements. The chef cooks your meal right at your table, performing tricks and providing charming commentary throughout the process. Lastly, the staff of virtually every hibachi restaurant is prepared to sing Happy Birthday on request while serving a special dessert.

Dave & Buster's

With locations across the U.S., Dave & Buster's is a popular game, entertainment, dining and bar complex for adults. Dave & Buster's offers birthday party packages that include a private room, buffet and party platter options, your choice of bar service and a variety of entertainment choices in addition to the game rooms. Dave & Buster's also has event coordinators that will help plan every detail of your party, making it an especially easy party to host.

Brewery/Ale House

A brewery or ale house is another naturally fun place to host a dinner party, and the specialty setting and ambiance will delight the beer-loving guest of honor. Most of these venues serve traditional pub food and, of course, they all serve their house brews. Some even offer tours of their brewing facilities, with tastings along the way.

Dinner Theater

If you love a good stage show, celebrate your birthday at a dinner theater with friends and family who equally appreciate the performing arts. These venues feature high quality productions and offer group rates.
