FUNCTIONS - EVENTS - RECEPTIONS
Dr Morse welcomes events of all kinds!
We know one size doesn't fit all party plans (and we know how to party). Our bistro and beer garden can host everything from big bashes, to intimate sit-down occasions, corporate events and larger style receptions.
Do you have an idea of what you want but need help finalising the details? OR need help on selecting a food and or drink package? We can talk and cater to any budget. Whatever you have in mind, we have a number of spaces available.
Feel free to book groups under 8 through our online bookings portal. For larger groups, get in touch with our functions manager with the enquiry form below.
THE FRONT BAR
With vast views over Johnston street, the front bar resides at the forefront of the venue. Low and cosy seating, alongside a polished concrete bar and bar stools. Casual long lunches and dining events are perfect for this space.
JIMMYS ROOM
Nestled in the middle of the venue, Jimmys Room hosts semi-formal dining experiences or casual standing and seated drinks occasions. Two large fireside tables overlooking the beer garden provide plenty of events opportunities.
BEER GARDEN
A lush urban jungle, our courtyard garden is a casual and communal space. From Thursday-Sunday we host DJ’s, parties and live music.
Our functions manager works Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm. We’ll endeavour to get back to you as soon as possible to make your event happen!

If there are no tables available, you are welcome to hang around the beer garden with standing room. Please note that all new bookings coming in to the space get priority over tables and standing space. On busier nights, we may need to start a line out the door which is a one-in-one-out situation regardless if you have a booking. Please note, in some circumstances we may not be able to accomodate you staying further (rarely!).

The pre-authorisation is a $10pp booking security that all bookings must complete. This amount is not charged to you at the time of booking, nor is it treated as a deposit or minimum spend for your time here.
Your pre-authorisation amount is only charged to you in the event you don’t show up to your booking at all or cancel within 24 hours. This is in place to ensure all bookings show up on time, especially on our busiest weekend days.
Any further clarifications, send out functions manager an email.
Please let us know of any changes to your numbers as soon as possible. The best way to do this is by emailing our functions manager (functions@drmorse.com.au) and they can organise that with you. Failing to notify us you are not coming in to your booking may incur a charged pre-authorisation fee.
