Plan an epic bucks party in the Top End
Darwin’s bucks-friendly venues are ready to make your night one to remember. Not every place takes bucks groups, but these ones will welcome you with open arms. From waterfront bars to laid-back pubs and private function rooms, there is something for every style of celebration. Most include a bonus $100 bar tab. Browse below and find your Darwin bucks venue.
| Capacity | Charge | Lowest | Midpoint | Highest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Medium rooms 71 to 140 guests, 3 spaces | Hire charge | $450 | $450 | $450 |
| Large rooms 141 guests or more, 5 spaces | Minimum spend | $400 | $400 | $400 |
| Hire charge | $200 | $425 | $600 |
| Day | Typical hours | Usual start | Usual finish |
|---|---|---|---|
| Friday | 7 | 5pm | 1am |
| Saturday | 7 | 5pm | 1am |
Ranges from 5 hours at the short end to 8 at the long end. Going past the guaranteed finish usually costs extra.
None of the 9 spaces in Darwin charge for a security guard, so that cost doesn't apply here. 7 of the 9 will let you meet the minimum spend with a beverage package. Every one of them accepts a bar tab. Costs outside the venue quote usually include DJ hire, entertainment, specialised catering and decorations.
2 of the 9 spaces in Darwin include a bonus bar tab when you enquire through Partystar. Each one is worth $50. The venue adds it to your bar on the night once you meet its stated requirement, which is either the hire charge, the minimum spend or the minimum guest numbers. See how the bonus bar tab works for the full detail.
Not the ones that set a minimum spend. All 2 of those have a $0 hire charge, so the minimum spend is the whole cost.
Food, drinks or both, depending on the venue. At a lot of venues drinks alone will cover it, and the venue's own listing says which applies. See how minimum spend works.
