Bucks Party Venues in Canberra City

How Bucks Party Venues Actually Work

Civic lets a bucks night start at a grill, move through a whisky or rum bar and end on a dance floor, with the four venues here covering each stage. All sit in the city centre, from Hobart Place to London Circuit.

Building a Civic bucks night from four stops:

Dinner: Hunter & Barrel's private rooms, The Den for 8 to 10 and The Fire for 12 to 14, sit off a steakhouse built around open-flame cooking.
Whisky: Molly's Vault, with a bar of its own, holds 55 and is where the four-tier whisky tastings happen.
Rum and cocktails: Highball runs hands-on cocktail classes, with a long rum list behind the bar.
Karaoke: 88mph has two private rooms, one for up to 12 and one for up to 20, each taken in 90-minute blocks.
Late finish: 88mph trades until 3am Wednesday to Saturday, with a light-up dance floor.

88mph's class for five or more includes prosecco, two demonstrated drinks, a turn behind the bar and a cheese and charcuterie box.
