Family friendly places to go for New years eve in Bayside?!
Hi everyone
I just been in touch with the Grandview hotel in Cleveland who are doing a seafood buffet at $90 each but as we have two kids with us (well teenagers 12 and 14 so not exactly of the screaming variety-not in public anyway lol)-we have to be out by 10pm! It does get a bit drunk and disorderly in there so fair enough, Its not the right place to have kids late at night, but surely there must be somewhere around here for the normal average family to see out new years? We only want a nice dinner, to get decently merry, see some fireworks and do it as a family rather than leaving the kids (young women actually!) at home. Any suggestions? Its funny how we all get sucked into thinking its more kid friendly here when to be honest thats not strictly true when it comes to going out at night.
Thanks in advance for anyone that answers
Happy christmas

isn't there a fire work display in the park behind the Grandview Hotel? I'm sure i read something in the local paper.

We are hanging in there, and I'm hoping things will start to inprove in the next couple of months although its bloody hard. I used to look at oz with a little more rose tinted glasses than I do now, the superficial crap that goes on here if you dont fit and what my poor daughter has gone through has shown me lots! but thats probably healthier so onwards and upwards I say :-) have a goodun in Perth mate. nice to hear from you

We are going to do just that! Will spend most of the day and early evening at Southbank then get back to Cleveland for about 10pm, have a few glasses of
and watch the free fireworks mentioned before. It just so happens I am right next to them so if anybody else is planning on heading to the back of Grandview to watch the fireworks, come on in and have a glass with us! :-)
