Beneath Driver Lane is a candlelit basement whisky and blues bar in Melbourne CBD for up to 120 guests, a good fit for a bucks party.

How Bucks Party Venues Actually Work

Some grooms want a club; others want a dram, a booth and a blues band. Below street level at Shop 3, Driver Lane, Beneath Driver Lane caters to the second kind – candles instead of windows, more than 500 whiskies behind the bar, and trading allowed until 3am.

Bucks groups of anywhere from 10 to 120 can book it, on any night they choose. How a bucks crew can use the space:

Half the bar for up to 60 – enough for the groom, his mates and the wider circle.
Full hire for a crowd of 120, with a live blues band if you want one.
A private masterclass on whisky, martinis or classic cocktails as the night's main event.
The Whisky Vault, where the bar's whisky specialists pour for the groom and up to four others.
Extras such as a Champagne tower or rounds of mini cocktails.

Packages cover three hours of drinks from $65 per person, and the bar can stretch them further if the party isn't ready to leave.

Package tiers step up from standard to premium, which adds a welcome cocktail and house spirits, to luxury, with Champagne, premium spirits and a dram of whisky.
Thursday to Sunday nights come with live blues, so a weekend booking has its soundtrack sorted.
Catering is arranged per event – the bar's own chef or an outside provider – and grazing tables and dietary requests are handled too.
Ask for a hire quote once you've settled on half or all of the room, since the bar prices it case by case.

Toasts, photos and a late finish

There's a full HD projector, so the groomsmen can put together a photo reel of the groom's younger years.
Booking the whole bar brings the venue's AV with it, which helps the toasts carry to the back booths.
Styling can be added if the group wants the room dressed for the occasion.
With trading allowed to 3am, nobody needs to plan a second venue for the end of the night.
