Hens Party Venues in Merewether & The Junction

How to Choose the Right Hens Party Venue

Hamilton gives a hens party two private set-ups inside working bars, so the bridal party gets its own space rather than a roped-off corner. Each lets the group bring its own music, and both sit in the same suburb.

What each one gives the hens:

The Priory @ The Blind Monk at 76 Beaumont St is a private room behind the main bar, with dark brick walls, fairy lights and wine-barrel leaners, for 30 to 70
Decorations are welcome at The Priory, provided nothing leaves a permanent mark
Smaller hens groups of 15 to 20 suit The Greenroof's cocktail bar at 71 Tudor St, set with high tables and stools
The Greenroof's covered courtyard takes 25 to 40 around an indoor garden, seated for a meal or standing for drinks
Games are easy at The Greenroof, which can bring in trivia or bingo – or a DJ to finish the night

Costs are set by minimums rather than hire fees: The Priory's From $400 minimum spend goes on function food, while at The Greenroof it's From $250 minimum spend, made up of a food minimum plus a bar minimum that varies by space.

Merewether & The Junction Hens Party Venues

The Priory's canape packages come with four, six or eight canapes plus a substantial dish, and each of its platters feeds 10 to 12, with dips, skewers, pizzas or tacos among the choices.
At The Greenroof, groups of 30 or more choose from the function platter menu, while smaller hens groups can pre-order from the a la carte menu.
Drinks at The Priory run as you go or on a bar tab to any amount; The Greenroof's tab covers exactly what you choose.
The Blind Monk pours cocktails alongside its constantly changing craft beer taps.

Shaping the night for the bride-to-be

The maid of honour can run the playlist straight from her phone through The Priory's sound system.
There's a PA and microphone in The Greenroof's beer garden at no cost – handy for the game host or a heartfelt toast – and the space holds 40 to 100 if the hens joins up with a bigger crowd.
Weekend hens of fewer than 30 should look at The Greenroof, since The Priory sets a 30-person minimum on its busiest nights.
The Greenroof's car park entry has no steps, and The Priory is fully air-conditioned.

Venues for Hens Parties: Your Questions Answered

Which Hamilton venue suits a hens group under 20?

The Greenroof's cocktail bar is built for 15 to 20, and its fireplace dining room seats 28. The Priory @ The Blind Monk takes 30 or more at weekends.

Is there somewhere to keep the hens cake cold?

The Priory stores celebration cakes in its cool room with no cakeage. For The Greenroof, ask the venue when you book.

Can we split the night between the two venues?

They're in the same suburb, The Priory on Beaumont Street and The Greenroof on Tudor Street, so a hens group could start with food at the first and finish up at the second. Each needs its own booking and minimum spend.

Can we use our own music for games and speeches?

Yes. The Priory's sound system takes your phone or laptop, and The Greenroof supplies a playlist cable along with the beer garden PA and microphone.
