Bucks Party Venues in Townsville City & Inner Suburbs

How Bucks Party Venues Actually Work

Both bucks options in Townsville City & Inner Suburbs are North Ward pubs, but they give a groom's crew different nights. The Beach Hotel sits on The Strand with six bookable areas and a covered rooftop; Hotel Allen, on the Eyre Street corner, splits its functions between a covered garden, a lounge bar and an outdoor veranda.

Expect to start from $24 per person with The Beach Hotel, or from $26 per person with Hotel Allen.

How the two North Ward pubs compare for a bucks group:

Size: The Beach Hotel stretches from a seated group of 24 up to 180 on its rooftop, while Hotel Allen's garden holds up to 100 when you take all of it.
Screens: the rooftop at The Beach Hotel has two big screens, handy for a bucks on a game night.
Food: Hotel Allen does platters of 30 pieces or banquets for 30 or more; The Beach Hotel does canapé packages and a grazing table.
Drinks: both run timed packages, a bar tab with your own limit, or a cash bar.
Cost model: The Beach Hotel charges no room hire and works on a minimum spend by area, day and time.
