The Birdcage

If you're looking for the party hot spot, this is the place

Get up close to the track

The Birdcage is back – and you’re going to want to be in it.

If you’re into trackside energy, top-notch people-watching and any excuse to let loose before the year wraps up, this is your precinct.

Located within the open, social space of Cuvée – right next to the real Birdcage and opposite the winning post – you’re set for a front-row raceday experience with room to roam and dance as the evening heats up.

You’ll get a drink on arrival, a racebook to keep you in the game, and food available to purchase when you’re ready to refuel.

Rally the crew. Dress like you’ve got plans. And get ready to go all in on party season.

Join us in the Birdcage at TAB Karaka Millions
