Old-school fun and a little flair.
Dealing with associates over a game of golf has a steep tradition in business. But who has time for 18 holes these days? And isn’t it really just a warm up for the after-round pints? Melbourne’s Holey Moley offers mini-golf and a wide selection of drinks at a convenient inner-city location.
Relieve office stress with cats and cake.
Melbourne Cat Cafe is an ideal venue for hosting a tricky meeting. Sipping coffee or nibbling at a slice of cake is one thing. Having furry friends around you while you do it is another, and will make negotiating a deal or determining a new work strategy just that little bit easier.
Add a little comfort and style.
How do you make a work meeting merrier? Host it in an NYC apartment-style joint with sofas. At 29th Apartment there’s concept cocktails and $1 pizzas on Wednesdays and Fridays, as well as giant game of Jenga – for switching from work to play.

For brief and productive discussions.
Drop the drowsy hour-long session for an energised back and forth with a couple of colleagues. The Stand Up Cafe is also great for one-on-ones with clients – grab a coffee and pitch ideas, quick fire.
For when a meeting turns into drinks.
Not exactly "quirky", but a great multi-space venue offering a range of possibilities. Arrive for a lunch meeting and stay until after dinner. Perfect for problem solving and socialising with colleagues – the greenery and substantial beer list will help to unlock your collective creativity.
