Bucks Party Venues in Potts Point

How Bucks Party Venues Actually Work

Cards first, then the club: that is the shape a Potts Point bucks night tends to take, because a poker room on Orwell Street and a disco on Bayswater Road are a short walk apart. Everything sits on the Kings Cross side of the suburb, and three of the spaces share one stretch of Bayswater Road.

Building the groom's night:

Dealt in: The Roosevelt's Poker Room hides behind a secret doorway and fits 10 players at the card table, with cards and chips supplied and professional croupiers available to hire.
More players: two poker tables fit in The Roosevelt's Monroe Room, for up to 24, next to its own bar and whisky collection.
Dinner, then dancing: Disco Room @ Pelicano can follow a shared three-course feast in Pelicano's restaurant before the club opens up to the group.
A late room for the whole crew: The Alcove @ Pennys Potts Point, licensed until 3am, holds 130 standing around a private bar, from $2,100 minimum spend.
Your own music: Penny Main Bar @ Pennys Potts Point (from $250 hire fee) welcomes the groom's playlist or an outside DJ within the venue's noise limits.

For a bigger crowd, The Roosevelt books out entirely for up to 110, and Pelicano's Disco Room can be joined with its terrace, lounge and restaurant, right up to a buy-out of the whole floor.

The Roosevelt can add a guided whisky tasting before or after the meal.
The Roosevelt's cocktail masterclass gives the groom's mates a hands-on start.
Croupiers can be hired for the poker night, so nobody in the group has to deal.
Groups of eight or more at The Roosevelt pay a 10% service charge, worth adding to the budget.

Where the night ends up

Pelicano's club room has booths around a dancefloor, pink and violet walls and neon cheetah murals at the entrance.
On Fridays and Saturdays Pelicano's nightclub runs from 10pm to 3am.
Bar staff and toilets are kept for The Alcove alone, which keeps the bucks party apart from the rest of Pennys.
Penny Main Bar is semi-private rather than closed off, so it works best for drinks before moving on to a club.
