Our large, multi-level dining room provides the option for sit-down or cocktail style functions.

The flexible layout allows us to accommodate both small, intimate events with long tables of up to 40, or large function with a full- house of 110 guests.

Our eclectic style and quirky vintage decor creates a unique ambiance, which is not only inviting but also presents the stage for an equally unique event, function or wedding.

The adjoining cocktail lounge is an inviting area for pre-reception refreshments, or can be booked for smaller gatherings.

THE GIN PARLOUR

Since fire gutted Katoomba’s historic Savoy Theatre in 1982, the Art-Deco foyer had been left unused. After nearly 40 years we’ve revived the foyer to create a charming social lounge and event space, now home to the GIN PARLOUR.

The GIN PARLOUR is also available to book for your own private event, and accommodates up to 20 guests seated, or 40 standing.  

LIVE MUSIC

Why not consider adding some live music to your event?

We have a range of bands that regularly perform at Avalon - from small acoustic duos, to five-piece jazz outfits, to quirky party bands - that are available for hire.

Our resident DJ Old Spice specialises in all manner of vinyl including soul, funk, latin, disco and reggae grooves from the '60s and '70s.
