Bucks Party Venues in Adelaide CBD

How Bucks Party Venues Actually Work

Three CBD venues list bucks parties, and each gives the group something different to do between rounds. One is a games bar, one a first-floor rum and cocktail bar, and one a Coopers pub with five function rooms.

What each offers a bucks group:

Ballers Clubhouse Adelaide on Pulteney Street has dart lanes, shuffleboard tables, ping pong, pool and karaoke, with a competition host, trophies and medals available as extras.
Its private rooms range from the Velvet Lounge karaoke room for 25 to The Clubhouse for 120, and spaces cost nothing to book against a minimum spend.
Union Hotel's Bar Cuba holds up to 120 standing behind a large rum collection, with big rounds of cocktails pre-ordered in batches.
The Original Coopers Alehouse pours the full Coopers range and has rooms from the Leabrook Room for 30 standing to the Carrington Bar for 150.
Food starts from $19.90 per person for cocktail platters at The Original Coopers Alehouse and from $39 per person for canapés at Ballers Clubhouse Adelaide.

Check the house rules before locking in a date: The Original Coopers Alehouse requires a security guard for bucks parties at the organiser's cost.

Half of Ballers Clubhouse Adelaide suits up to 150 with its own bar and an automatic photo booth.
The Precinct takes 50 with shuffleboard, darts and the ball pit karaoke, enough for a big crew without the whole venue.
A DJ, a photographer and a competition host can be added, and a 50% deposit confirms the date.
Catering covers canapés and substantials, and two-hour drinks packages are offered.

Union Hotel and the Alehouse for a bucks dinner first

Bar Cuba seats up to 60 for a private lunch or dinner if the night starts at the table.
From Monday to Thursday Bar Cuba carries no room hire and an $850 minimum spend; Fridays and Saturdays cost more, each covering five hours.
The Thomas Cooper Room upstairs at The Original Coopers Alehouse has a private bar and a balcony over Hurtle Square, holding 110 for cocktails.
The Alehouse offers a BBQ package, set menus and beverage packages of three or four hours, and its upstairs rooms are reached by stairs only.
