Bucks Party Venues Eastern Suburbs

A bucks that starts at the football and ends somewhere with a bar of its own can pivot on Queen Street, Woollahra. The Terrace @ Woollahra Hotel sits upstairs in a 1930s art deco corner pub, around 15 to 20 minutes on foot from the SCG and Allianz Stadium, and gives the groom's crew a terrace under a roof that opens to the sky.

In a region better known for beach pubs and harbour dining, this is the inner-east choice, close to Paddington and Oxford Street for the rest of the night.

Why the Terrace works for the groom and his mates:

• Room for 120 standing, or 80 seated for a banquet before the big night out
• Banquets of modern Asian dishes, from $70 per person once you have 12 or more
• Your own music once the space is booked for exclusive use
• A smoking area, plus screens, three bars and a sound system across the upper level
• Drinks tiered Good, Better and Best, or run on consumption, prepaid or cash

A smaller bucks can rope off the Cocktail Bar at the Terrace's eastern end, while a big crew can take the whole upper level, around 400 square metres, for 300.
