Frequently Asked Questions

LevelOne1 is an incredibly versatile event space, combining sophisticated styling with the flexibility to bring almost any occasion to life.

With a built-in stage, state-of-the-art sound system and professional stage lighting, the space is perfectly suited to a wide variety of events. Throughout the week, Level 1 comes alive with Jazz Nights, Trivia, Comedy and Burlesque, showcasing just how adaptable the venue can be.

For private events, the space can be transformed to suit your vision. We’ve hosted many Christmas, End of Year and End of Financial Year parties, allowing functions to create the atmosphere that matches their brand and culture. Working with our dedicated events manager, you can create an intimate cabaret-style setting for dinner and a show, host an engaging product launch or presentation, a vibrant music event and nightclub activation, or bring guests together for a captivating one-on-one interview or panel discussion. For live music, DJs and celebrations, we can clear the floor to create the perfect space for guests to mingle, dance and enjoy the entertainment.

From stylish cocktail events and corporate functions to elegant sit-down dinners, live performances and unforgettable celebrations, Level One offers endless possibilities — and our team can help you create an event that feels uniquely yours.

Our regular weekly events at Level One are hosted by third-party event organisers, with tickets and bookings available directly through our What’s On page.

For private functions and events booked directly through the venue, Level One is offered exclusively as a full-venue private hire, giving you and your guests complete use of the private space for your event.

Level One is fully self-contained, with its own private bar and amenities, so everything you and your guests need is conveniently located within the space. This allows you to create a truly private and seamless experience, with the entire level dedicated exclusively to your event.

We’d love to welcome your group in for drinks! As we are a licensed venue and need to comply with Responsible Service of Alcohol requirements, beverage packages do require a minimum food spend per person.

If you’re looking for a drinks-only option, you’re very welcome to set up a bar tab for your guests. Simply provide a credit card, let our team know your preferred spend limit, and choose which beverages you’d like included — such as beer, wine, house spirits, cocktails, seltzers or a combination.

This can be a great option if you’d prefer to keep things casual and give your guests a little more flexibility with their drinks.

Absolutely. Level 1 is equipped with a state-of-the-art in-house audio system, making it easy to tailor the sound and entertainment to suit your event.

Live bands and DJs are welcome to connect directly to our in-house system, or if you prefer to curate your own soundtrack, you’re welcome to create a playlist and play it through our equipment at no additional cost.

For added convenience, we also have DJ equipment and microphones available to hire, along with linkable TVs on stands that are perfect for presentations, slideshows, videos, branding or other visual content throughout your event.

Whether it’s background music over dinner, a heartfelt speech, a corporate presentation, a live band or a DJ to get everyone on the dance floor, Level 1 offers the equipment and flexibility to help bring your event to life.

We’d be happy to chat through the options and find the best setup for your event!

We offer a delicious and diverse range of catering options, with something to suit every style of event – from relaxed, casual gatherings to cocktail parties and more formal dining experiences.

Choose from our selection of traditional canapés, or add a little flair with Mexican-inspired canapés from our hatted Mexican menu at Sweethearts Terraza.

For a more casual gathering, guests can enjoy a relaxed shared banquet on Sweethearts Terraza, or choose from our Gastro Pub-style menu on the Ground Floor.

If you’re planning something a little more formal, we can also offer beautifully curated two- or three-course set menus, creating a memorable sit-down dining experience for you and your guests.

Whatever you have in mind, our Event Manager will be happy to talk you through the options and help create the perfect menu for your occasion. Simply click Enquire to get in touch and explore our current catering menus.

We recommend booking as early as possible, particularly for the busier times of year such as summer, Christmas and New Year, as these dates can fill up quickly. Booking a few months in advance is ideal if you have a particular space or setup in mind.

With our various venues across Potts Point Hotel, we can accommodate any group size across our pub (PPH), private function & show room (Level One), disco bar (Good Room) and rooftop bar & restaurant (Sweethearts Terraza). We’re able to cater for everything from intimate gatherings through to larger celebrations, so popular dates and areas can book out well in advance.

That said, if you’re planning something last minute, please don’t hesitate to get in touch!
We’ll always do our best to accommodate your event and find a space that works beautifully for your group and occasion.

Absolutely! We love the look and feel of our venue and think it already provides a beautiful backdrop for your celebration, but we’re more than happy for you to add your own personal touches.

Free-standing decorations such as balloons, florals and other styling elements are welcome, provided they don’t obstruct walkways or impact other guests.

To protect the venue, we’re unable to allow anything to be attached to the walls, furniture or other surfaces, so unfortunately tape, Blu Tack or similar adhesives aren’t permitted.

We’re always happy to work with you on ways to personalise the space while keeping everything looking fabulous!

Enquire directly with us or through Functions and Events and we’ll match you with the right space.

CAKES

You’re very welcome to bring a cake for your celebration, and we don’t charge any cakeage.

You’re welcome to drop your cake off on the day of your event anytime after 10:30am. Just let our team know which level your event is taking place on, and we’ll be happy to store it in our cool room until you’re ready to celebrate.

Alternatively, you’re welcome to bring the cake with you when you arrive for your booking. If you’d like somewhere to display it, just let our friendly team know and we’ll be happy to assist. We’ll also provide serviettes and cutlery for you to enjoy the cake with your guests. 🎂

We’re pretty flexible! We’re always happy to accommodate additional guests where possible. As your group grows, we may need to look at your seating arrangement, available space and any minimum spend requirements, as these can vary depending on the size of your group and the area you’ve booked.

Some of our spaces have maximum capacities, so we always recommend getting in touch with your Event Manager as soon as you know your numbers have changed. We’ll be more than happy to explore the available options and find the best setup for your group!

Tell us as early as you can. If numbers outgrow the ground floor or if your requirements change, we can work together to see if another one of our venues (PPH, Good Room or Sweethearts Terraza) are more suitable.

As we’re a licensed venue, children are very welcome as long as they remain under the direct supervision of a parent at all times. As part of our house policy, this supervision must be provided by a parent rather than another guardian or accompanying adult.

Children must stay at least 1.5 metres away from the bar and be accompanied by their parent if they need to use the bathroom. Children will also need to leave the venue by 9:30pm.

We also have highchairs available for little ones – just let our friendly staff know on the day and we’ll be happy to assist.

We really appreciate your understanding and cooperation with these requirements, and we look forward to welcoming you and your family!

Absolutely! We’re happy to work with external suppliers for exclusive hire events, and you’re welcome to bring in certain entertainment, styling and decorations to personalise your event.

We always recommend discussing any external suppliers with us before making arrangements, as some items may require specific space, access to power or particular setup requirements. We can then make sure everything will work safely and comfortably within your chosen space.

We also have some noise restrictions that apply to certain levels of the venue, so if you’re considering entertainment such as a DJ, band or other amplified music, it’s best to chat with us before booking to ensure we can accommodate your plans.

As we are a fully licensed venue with our own in-house catering, we’re unable to accommodate external catering companies unless approved in writing by the venue. This would generally only be considered where the catering is for something we’re unable to provide in-house.

Our team is always happy to work with you and your suppliers to make sure everything comes together seamlessly for your event!

Absolutely! We’re very happy to cater to a range of dietary requirements and our Head Chef is always happy to work with you to ensure your guests are well looked after.

Just let our Event Manager know about any dietary requirements when making your booking, so we can discuss the best options with you. Some set menus have limited flexibility for certain dietary requirements, so providing this information in advance allows our kitchen team to plan accordingly.

For specialty requirements such as Halal or Kosher, these may need to be sourced through specialised suppliers and can incur an additional cost. We’ll always discuss this with you upfront so there are no surprises.

Our team is here to make sure everyone can enjoy their experience with us, so please don’t hesitate to chat with us about any dietary needs when planning your event!

While we have a lift available to access all levels of Potts Point Hotel, please contact us directly to discuss accessibility requirements and we’ll ensure we can accommodate your needs.
