It's nothing Manahatta can't handle. Whether your festivities call for a bottomless brunch, a whole cocktail tree or a buffet package where you get to pick what's on the platter. Leave it to the interiors to get you in the party mood, from the pink neon lights to the pops of glitz and gold. And no birthday is complete without a dance under the disco ball with your best mates. 

You can also sign up for a cocktail masterclass if you're ready to be the one behind the shaker. But if you'd rather leave your drinks in the capable hands of the bartenders, you're in store for salted caramel espresso martinis, pineapple margaritas and a piña colada with orange and mango… yum.

29. Barbara's Bier Haus Birmingham

A birthday party venue that your friends will actually thank you for choosing? If it's a Birmingham bash, that venue would be Barbara's Bier Haus. This Bavarian basecamp brings all the fun of après-ski and none of the blistering alpine weather – we'd call that a win-win.

There's no need to don your ski boots, but you might wanna make sure you've brought your dancing shoes if you intend on making the most of the live music. But that's just the beginning, because, according to Barbara, it wouldn't be a party without cocktail towers, steins of beer and shots of schnapps served on a mini ski…
