Bucks Party Venues in North Ward

How Bucks Party Venues Actually Work

Mates planning a bucks night in North Ward are choosing between The Beach Hotel on The Strand and Hotel Allen, a corner pub on Eyre Street. Both take bucks bookings, both run drinks packages and tabs, and both can handle a big crew of mates.

Comparing the two for a bucks night:

Up to 180 can take over Rooftop Exclusive at The Beach Hotel, which comes with two big screens and AV.
Kennedy Side, Strand Corner and Strand West at The Beach Hotel each have a screen, handy if the bucks lines up with a game.
Hotel Allen's covered beer garden can be taken whole for 100, or one section of it hired.
Drinks packages at The Beach Hotel run three to five hours; Hotel Allen's run two, three or four.
Expect to pay from $24 per person for food at The Beach Hotel; at Hotel Allen, banquets are from $26 per person.

If the plan involves a long session, set the bar tab limit in advance and book a minibus or taxis for the whole group at the end.

The beer garden is fully covered and can be reached from inside the pub or straight off Warburton Street.
Banquet boards for 30 or more cover Greek lamb, smoked brisket, peri peri chicken and Tex Mex.
Out on Gregory Street, the veranda fits 60 with the main bar close by.
The building mixes a retro tropical look with a sports bar and gaming room.

Rain or wind won't end the night: the top floor has a roof and bifold glass doors.
Any package can be lifted with a spirits upgrade.
There is no room hire fee; a minimum spend applies, set by area, day and time.
Strand West takes around 60 standing for a mid-sized bucks group.
