Hens Party Venues in Northcote

How to Choose the Right Hens Party Venue

Disco balls, chandeliers and deep couches set the mood at Purple Emerald Lounge Bar, a cocktail bar at 349 High Street, Northcote. It has traded in the suburb since 2012 and opens for private parties seven days a week, day or night.

For a hens celebration, the bride-to-be and her friends can take one room, the covered Sundeck or the whole bar.

How the bridal party can use the lounge:

A close circle of 20 or more: the Front Main Room suits 20 to 85, with exclusive use from 50 guests
Dancing for the bride: that front room can be cleared for a dance floor, with a DJ or your own playlist
Photos of the bride on the big screen: the Sundeck, for 40 to 75, has a large screen for a slideshow
Every friend and relative invited: the whole venue can be booked for 100 to 150 guests
A toast from the maid of honour: a microphone, sound system and projector come with venue hire

In most cases there is no hire fee. Send an enquiry with the date and the size of the bridal party.

The bar pours cocktails and spritzes, along with more than 15 gins.
Draught beer, whiskies and bourbons cover the rest of the group.
Alcohol-free cocktails mean everyone gets a proper glass for the toast.
The kitchen sends out share plates until late.
