Bucks Party Venues in Erskineville

How Bucks Party Venues Actually Work

A pool table, a beer garden and a stack of sliders make an easy base for the groom and his mates. The Erko Hotel has been pouring beers on its Erskineville corner since 1882, and it keeps the relaxed feel of a proper local.

For a bucks crew the Backyard is the natural fit, with its parasols, heaters and part-covered roof, and 80 can stand in it. Packages start from $30 per person.

Setting up the groom's session:

Bigger crews: 80 standing or 40 seated out the back.
Smaller crews: the Front Bar takes up to 60 in a bright, contemporary room.
Food that soaks up the beer: lamb and chicken skewers, polenta chips and sliders.
Drinks: a Standard or Premium package lasting two to four hours, with tap cocktails as an add-on.
Spending: set a limit on the bar tab, or switch to a cash bar.

Erskineville Station is a few minutes' walk away and Macdonaldtown is close by, so the boys can arrive by train and leave the cars at home.

Three canapés per guest make up the entry package.
The next tiers add one or two substantial items.
Extra pieces can be ordered on top of any package.
Slider fillings run from fried chicken and beef to fish, eggplant and prawn.

Keeping the day going

Trivia nights and the pool table are part of the pub's everyday rhythm.
Both function areas are semi-private rather than shut off.
Guest rooms upstairs suit anyone who wants to stay the night.
A bottle shop on site covers any takeaway needs.
