Bucks Party Venues in Richmond

How Bucks Party Venues Actually Work

Pool, the footy and a bar to yourselves: for the groom's last big night out, Richmond offers three pubs – The Loft @ Mt View Hotel on Bridge Road, plus Union House and Richmond Social on Swan Street.

Each takes a crowd of 100 or more, and each also has rooms that work for a smaller group of mates.

Matching the bucks crew to a space:

A pool table in the room: the Mt View's Loft mixes high bar tables with lower seating around one, for up to 100 standing.
Watching the game together: an outdoor TV on Union House's Terrace shows the footy or cricket, and the roof retracts, with heaters for cooler nights.
Booths in a sports bar: Night Shift at Richmond Social seats 24 in private booth seating or takes 80 standing.
A big send-off: Richmond Social's Moonlight Lounge, reached by lift, takes 150 standing and has its own bar.
A sit-down feed first: Union House's upstairs Dining Room seats 15 to 65 by the fireplace, with table service.

Bucks nights are on the event lists at Union House and Richmond Social, and the Mt View has a rooftop bar too, A Bar Above.

The Mt View sells drinks as a four-hour package, or as a tab capped at your limit that can switch to a cash bar once it runs out.
Union House runs functions on a bar tab, with minimum spends quoted for the space, date and time.
Richmond Social's team builds the catering around the budget you put on its enquiry form, along with the format and space you pick.
Starting points per head: from $30 per person at Union House and from $39 per person for the Loft's canapé packages.

Food that lasts the night

Loft canapés are cooked in-house, from six pieces up to ten, and substantial items can be added.
Mt View set menus come Greek, Italian or Australian (minimum 25 guests).
Union House's shared canapé packages range from a chef's choice of five items to a bigger hot and cold spread, with sliders and platters as extras.
Richmond Social covers canapé packages and set menus across its seven spaces.
