Group Dinners Made Easy: Ambra’s Top Tips for a Great Night Out

Planning a group dinner can feel like herding cats — between dietary requirements, budget concerns, seating arrangements and figuring out who’s bringing the vibe, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. The good news? At Ambra Spirits in Thebarton, we make group dining easy, fun, and absolutely delicious.

Whether it’s a birthday dinner, team night out, family catch-up or just Friday drinks that turned into dinner, here’s how to plan a stress-free group night out at one of Adelaide’s most-loved dining spots.

🍝 1. Choose a Venue That’s Built for Groups

Not every restaurant can handle a group — especially if you want a mix of casual energy and good service. Ambra was made for it.

With flexible seating indoors and outdoors, we cater for groups of 8 to 50+. Our space is open and vibrant, but with enough layout options to create a semi-private or communal feel — depending on what your group wants.

🧀 2. Go for Share-Style Dining

Nothing brings people together like food designed to share. Ambra’s Mediterranean-inspired menu includes:

• Grazing platters and antipasto boards

• Share plates featuring seasonal ingredients

• Flexible add-ons like sliders, arancini, or flatbreads

It’s the perfect format for passing plates, trying a bit of everything, and keeping the mood relaxed.

No awkward bill-splitting arguments over who ate what — it’s all designed to be enjoyed together.

🍹 3. Drinks That Everyone Can Enjoy

From handcrafted cocktails to crisp wines, local beers and zero-alc options, Ambra’s drinks menu keeps everyone happy. Favourites include:

• Signature liqueur-based cocktails (hello, Limoncello Spritz!)

• Tasting flights for something fun and different

• Custom drink tabs or individual orders — your call

Want to pre-order a round of arrival cocktails or bubbles? Easy. Want your own drinks station or bar tab cap? Done.

🧑🍳 4. Let the Staff Handle the Details

Coordinating RSVPs, dietary requirements, and seating preferences? Let us take it off your plate.

At Ambra, we:

• Help you plan and reserve the best layout

• Offer flexible group menus that cater to dietary needs

• Make it easy to pre-select food and drinks if you’d like

Whether it’s a casual booking or a semi-private function, our team is here to help you focus on your people, not the logistics.

🎉 5. Keep It Fun, Not Formal

Some group dinners are about connection — not courses and white tablecloths. Ambra keeps things upbeat and welcoming, with:

• A warm, stylish atmosphere

• Friendly service and great playlists

• Easy parking and city-close location

Come for the cocktails, stay for the vibes — and leave with full bellies and great memories.
