Private Dining Rooms · Brisbane CBD
Five distinctive private rooms for 18 to 65 seated guests, from an intimate cellar to a heritage attic, all under one 1864 roof in the heart of the city. Chef-led food, a room that is yours for lunch or dinner, and a team who runs it for you.
The Brief You've Been Handed
You need a private room in the city for a work lunch or dinner, client entertaining, a milestone or an intimate celebration. It has to seat your table, feel like an occasion, and serve food your guests actually remember, without becoming your second job the week before.
Most venues hand you a partitioned corner and a set banquet menu, then leave the event to you. The room is private. The occasion falls flat.
We booked Malt Dining for a work function. The room was beautiful, perfect size for what we needed. The chef even came out to speak to us.

Five private rooms across Malt Dining and Malt Traders, from an 18 seat cellar to a 65 seat attic, all in the heart of Brisbane's CBD. Every room comes with AV, a tailored menu and a team who runs it for you.
Our signature private dining room. An intimate space where the whole table feels connected, exposed brick and full AV, run from appetisers to dessert. The room for a private occasion that should feel special.
Large exposed beams and high ceilings that lend real occasion to a seated lunch or dinner. The natural fit for corporate events and celebrations, with Spotify, an optional screen, speaker and microphone included.
An intimate cellar-door room wrapped in craft wine, ideal for a private lunch or dinner with a wine tasting at its centre. Self-serve retail pricing keeps the drinks flowing without the venue markup.
Exposed brick, a built-in 60 inch screen and easy indoor-outdoor flow. Our most flexible room for a relaxed private event that can spill into canapes and drinks afterwards.
The whole top floor with its own fully stocked bar, for the larger seated lunch or dinner that still needs to feel private. Our signature room for milestone celebrations and big corporate events.

One Heritage Roof · Every Kind Of Event
From an 18 seat cellar lunch to a 65 guest dinner
Why Malt Dining
Malt Dining sits inside a Georgian building from 1864, three levels of exposed brick, whisky bar and private cellar in the middle of the CBD. It is a working restaurant first, which is exactly why the private events land.
Your guests eat modern Australian food cooked close to source by our kitchen, not a reheated banquet menu. And every event is run by a team who does this every week.
Make It An Occasion
Three guided experiences led by our own team, built to give a private event a centrepiece. Add one to any room, from $80 per person.
From $80pp
A curated flight of wines hosted alongside your lunch or dinner at Malt Traders, paired with grazing platters from our Head Chef. Sit surrounded by hundreds of bottles and let the table taste their way through the list.
From $80pp
A guided journey through a considered flight of whiskies, poured and talked through by our team, with grazing platters to match. The natural fit for the Malt name, and a genuine talking point for a corporate event.
From $80pp
A private, two hour class for 10 to 20 guests with our resident bartender Junya Kato. Four cocktails per person, one on arrival and three you make yourself, plus optional grazing platters. A hands-on start to a private event.
