About The Back Bar @ Pier Hotel
The Pier Hotel stands on the Nepean Highway in Frankston, close to the waterfront, and houses a front bar, the Pelly Bar band room and the Pier Bandroom. Its party space is The Back Bar, a private function room with an entrance of its own. The room has a fully stocked bar with five beer taps, three large wall-mounted TVs, Bluetooth music, a dance floor, private bathrooms and an outdoor smoking area. It fits up to 110 guests cocktail-style, which suits 21sts, engagement parties, hens nights and work drinks. Hosts can bring their own DJ or live band, or the hotel can book a DJ. A digital photo booth and party styling can also be added for the night. Cocktail packages run for five hours. The standard package at $1,800 suits 40 to 50 guests with four platters and an $800 bar tab, and the premium package at $2,500 suits 70 to 80 guests with six platters and a $1,000 bar tab, both with staff, a security guard, linen and AV included.
