Birthdays
Celebrate your way.
Birthday celebrations come in all sizes, from intimate dinners with friends to larger group gatherings. Diesel Bar & Eatery offers flexible seating, food and drink packages and a welcoming atmosphere that makes celebrating easy.

Corporate Functions
Business, done differently.
For a corporate function venue in Melbourne, Diesel offers a private, moody setting — a refreshing alternative to traditional conference venues. The upstairs space includes AV support (DJ console, wireless microphone, LCD screens), so presentations and speeches run alongside the night's entertainment.
Engagements & Private Celebrations
Make it exclusively yours.
As an engagement party venue, Diesel's upstairs room can be reserved in part or in full, with booth seating for smaller groups, or an exclusive takeover for larger guest lists. The space is equally suited to farewell parties, milestone celebrations and other private gatherings.
Group Bookings
Two spaces, one venue.
We accommodate group bookings on both the ground floor and upstairs, with reserved tables, shared dining options and attentive service to keep everyone together throughout the evening.
The Space, Upstairs
Located upstairs, this dedicated function space offers flexibility for both seated and cocktail-style events. Once up there, the room includes:
- Standing capacity for 200 guests
- Reserved booth areas
- A central island bar
- Full AV setup: DJ console, wireless microphone, LCD screens
- Flexible floor and seating arrangements
The Smokers Room
A separate private space upstairs, set apart from the main bar and function area. Suited to smaller private bookings that want their own room without taking on the full upstairs capacity — an engagement dinner, a work send-off, a birthday that doesn't need 200 guests to feel like an event.

Built around your event, not a fixed package.
For full or partial venue hire in Melbourne CBD, Diesel puts together catering and beverage packages built around the group's budget and the event's scale, instead of a single fixed package for every booking. Suited equally to a private event space booking for twenty guests or a corporate function for the full upstairs capacity.
