Bucks Party Venues in Double Bay

How Bucks Party Venues Actually Work

Set high in the branches of an 80-year-old fig tree, The Canopy @ The Golden Sheaf gives a bucks group its own corner of the heritage pub at 429 New South Head Road. It sits apart from the busier bars, with a bar, bathrooms, an AV system and screen, and a balcony that opens into the tree, and it holds 150 standing or 60 seated.

Planning the groom's night at the Sheaf:

Bar set-up: a tab with a limit you choose, a cash bar, or a two-hour standard package with a premium level above it.
Feeding the crew: canapé packages start from $50 per person for 15 or more, and share boards, platters and a shared set menu are on offer too.
Music later on: the pub's band room runs DJs and live music.
A smaller group: the Sunrise lounge takes 30 when The Canopy is more space than the boys need.
Getting there: buses run along New South Head Road, and Edgecliff Station is about a ten-minute walk.

The Golden Sheaf says outright that bucks parties are welcome, and with a beer garden, a rooftop and a bottle shop on the same site, there is plenty to fill the rest of the night.

The Canopy's own bathrooms and bar mean the group isn't queuing with the public side of the pub.
The screen and AV system can carry a slideshow of the groom's finest moments, or the game.
Sixty seated makes a long sit-down dinner possible before the drinks take over.
The balcony gives the group a spot for fresh air without leaving the room.

Scaling the bucks up or down

Exclusive use of the Garden Bar, under the fig tree, is another option at the Sheaf.
Bigger crews can look at a whole level or the entire ground floor.
The functions team caters for most dietary needs with notice.
Canapé packages top out with a cheese and charcuterie station for groups that want more than finger food.
