Bucks Party Venues in Melbourne's Inner West

How Bucks Party Venues Actually Work

For the groom and his mates, the inner west's riverside option is Anglers Tavern, a Maribyrnong pub on Anglers Way whose ground floor runs as a local with a bistro, a sports bar and a big beer garden.

For a bucks crew, the useful pieces are:

The Nook: around 40 mates can stand in this space inside the sports bar – right for a tighter crew.
Beer garden sections: parts of the garden can be booked, with up to 180 across the whole garden.
The Chifley Room: 120 standing, with its own bar, entry and a small outdoor area.
Level One Exclusive: two bars and a private entrance for up to 300 when the guest list keeps growing.
Food: roaming canapé packages from $37 per person, with pizza stations and late-night snacks as extras.

Drinks can sit on a package for two to four hours, a bar tab with a limit the groomsmen set, or a cash bar so everyone shouts their own.

The PA, cordless microphones and DJ input upstairs cover the playlist and the roast speeches.
Put the groom's most embarrassing photos up on the projector screen.
The events team helps map out the layout and running order.
For an earlier start, the partly undercover Bistro Deck takes 60 on their feet.

Feeding a crowd of mates

Canapé packages circulate the room in sizes of six, eight or ten.
Oyster and pizza stations can be added to the spread.
Grazing tables and late-night snacks keep a long night going.
Before the bar, the group can sit down to shared two- or three-course set menus.
