Bucks Party Venues in the Inner West

How Bucks Party Venues Actually Work

The Inner West is a good middle ground for a bucks party. It is close enough to the city that everyone can get there, but away from the CBD's crowded Saturday-night bars, and it spans quite different areas, from Newtown and Glebe to Camperdown, Marrickville, Burwood and North Strathfield. For a bucks group, the first question is usually whether to build the day around an activity or around bars. The venue listed for bucks parties in the region is at the activity end: Room 300 @ Kingpin North Strathfield, a private event room with its own bowling lanes, with laser tag and arcade games next door.

What to weigh up:

Getting there: Kingpin is on George Street near North Strathfield station, with paid parking on site; elsewhere in the region Newtown and Burwood stations help, while much of the rest relies on buses.
Venue style: a private room with dedicated lanes suits a competitive group that wants its own space rather than a corner of a public bar.
Capacity: Room 300 takes up to 70 guests, which covers a small group of mates or a big combined bucks.
Booking ahead: Saturdays are the most requested slots for group bookings, so enquire once the date is locked in.
Food and drinks: Room 300 is from $3,000 minimum spend; ask what food and drinks packages count towards it.

The western end of the region, around North Strathfield, is easier to drive to than the city, which suits groups coming in from the suburbs or from out of town. Plan the day as a series of rounds, with bowling, then laser tag or the arcade, and food in between, and arrange how everyone is getting home before it starts. Keeping everything in one place also means nobody gets lost between venues, which is half the battle on a bucks.
