Bucks Party Venues in Chippendale

How Bucks Party Venues Actually Work

Craft beer and a pool cue cover most of what a groom wants from a Chippendale bucks. At 52-54 Cleveland Street, The Rose Hotel pours around 30 rotating craft beers downstairs and keeps its upstairs Marmalade Bar for private groups, while The Chippo Hotel on Abercrombie Street runs its whole kitchen and bar on plant-based lines.

Both are pubs first, so the night can mix a private room with the buzz of the public bars.

Setting up the buck's night:

The crew's own bar: Marmalade Bar @ The Rose Hotel sits upstairs, apart from the public bars, for up to 120
Games on the side: The Chippo Hotel runs a Wednesday pool competition and a Tuesday trivia night
Watching the footy: The Chippo's Sports Bar holds 40 seated or 60 standing
A big send-off: The Den at The Chippo fits 180 standing or 80 seated
Round the fire: The Chippo's beer garden takes 50 standing, with a fire pit lit once the weather cools

Downstairs at The Rose, the Rosebud cocktail bar opens on Friday and Saturday nights, handy once the private part of the evening wraps up.

The Chippo's menu is vegan pub staples such as parmas, burgers, loaded fries and fish and chips, with gluten-free options marked
Mama B's Catering, The Chippo's catering arm, has full function menus and packages
The Rose's kitchen makes pizzas, small bites and pub classics, with catering and beverage packages for functions
The Rose's wine list favours organic and biodynamic producers, and Australian tinnies sit alongside the craft taps

Speeches, music and the late part

Marmalade Bar has TV and AV, audio control and room for a dance floor, enough for a roast of the groom and a playlist
The Chippo's weekly line-up of bands, DJs and comedians can slot into the night
Groups of more than 30 at The Rose are booked through the functions manager
The Nook, The Chippo's smallest space, takes 9 seated for a quieter first round with the groom's closest mates
