Bucks Party Venues in Redfern

How Bucks Party Venues Actually Work

Mjolner Sydney and The Bat & Ball Hotel sit on the same road, Cleveland Street, and between them they cover dinner and the rest of the night. Mjolner is a whisky bar and feasting hall dressed like something out of Norse myth, where every diner is handed a knife in a leather roll, and the Bat & Ball is a pub, sports bar and bistro further along at number 495.

Mapping out the groom's Cleveland Street night:

The feast: rotisserie chicken, short rib and lamb anchor Mjolner's share menus, from $100 per person, and tomahawk steaks can be added.
Whisky: around 400 bottles behind Mjolner's bar, with guided tastings and a whisky bone luge on request.
Pool and darts: up to 30 fit in the Bat & Ball's pool room, which has a table, e-darts and a free jukebox.
A bigger crew: 50 to 65 fit in the Bat & Ball's beer garden, which smokers can use when it's arranged that way.
Staying over: the Bat & Ball has accommodation upstairs for anyone who would rather not travel home.

Mjolner pitches its private booths for 10 to 16 at bucks dinners, and the Bat & Ball charges no fee to book any of its function spaces.

The Feasting Hall seats a banquet table of 17 to 20, or runs semi-privately for up to 28.
Beer, wine and cocktail packages are offered, or drinks run on consumption.
Exclusive hire takes 80 seated or 100 standing for the biggest groups.
Redfern Station is the nearest train, and the 352 bus stops close by.
