Bucks Party Venues in Cairns City & Inner Suburbs

How Bucks Party Venues Actually Work

Esplanade and Shields Street hold most of the inner-city venues that host bucks groups, all close together. One suburban choice, in Redlynch, suits a crew that wants an upstairs room of its own.

Which kind of bucks night each venue suits:

Beer garden and big screens: Rattle n Hum Cairns on the Esplanade holds 150 standing in its garden, with exclusive hire from 80 guests.
A traditional pub: The Crown Hotel has its Palm n Pint Room with a full bar and TVs for 40, from $100 room hire.
Spirits and masterclasses: Three Wolves runs guided cocktail and spirit masterclasses for groups of 10 or more, booked a week ahead.
Small and themed: Flamingos Tiki Bar sits below street level and takes up to 35 for exclusive hire.
Waterside: The Pier Bar on the marina hires each area for up to 50 from $200 room hire, and Dundee's on the Waterfront has function lunches from $35 per person.

Plan transport between venues in advance with a booked driver, minibus or taxis, since nobody should be driving after a bucks night.
