Bucks Nights

[rdhopkins2]

Friend of mine is getting married soon so thought it best to start thinking about his bucks.

Bucks will be in Melbourne CBD most likely.

Any suggestions?

Any novel ideas?

Yes strips at some point will probably happen.

Novel ideas...

Well, a mate of mine had his bucks about six months ago and the first part of the day was about twelve of us going to play bubble soccer.

I have to say, it was sensationally sweaty, exhausting and oh so fun. I'd highly recommend it.

I went to quite a nice low-key bucks in Hawthorn a couple of years ago. Met at Bar None for an aperitif, then on to the Charcoal Grill for dinner. Finished the night with whiskey and cigars at Baranows.

Wouldn't work for everyone, but for us (small group of mostly older guys) it was a great night.

LOL

Sorry but could you be more Melbourne supporter

A quick whip-around, Jazzy O and a traffic cone would have been the way to go. Unfortunately that world has moved on

Sounds like I can ask GS for strips tips then?

I was thinking maybe a charter boat with beer, fishing & strips for something different. Though we'd obviously need cabs or designated drivers.

I went on a bucks night on a chartered boat, there was plenty of booze and a stripper but there was no fishing going on.

After the boat trip we got cabs to a bar down in Fishing Boat Harbour in Freo, I was so drunk I thought we were at a bar in Scarborough.

Holy shit... Every time I read one of these bucks night/party threads the type of activities are getting softer by the day.. Next thing it will be lawn bowls and bingo..

Bucks will be in Melbourne CBD most likely.

But if your mate is keen on strippers etc, stay away from King street and try Kittens in South Melbourne.

Great thread, also got assigned as best man for May next year! So charged with the big job of organizing the bucks day!

Hardest thing I've started to realize is the cost adds up! There's 10 of us, and only kinda want to charge them $100 each (excluding buck ofc) so that only gives me $900 to play with.. a topless waitress is freakin more expensive than I realized! About $150ph and usually its 2hrs minimum. (wayy more if you want a strip show!)
Then you have one activity like the above bubble soccer for $350 for 10 ppls and thats almost your budget blown! Wanted the $$ to cover drinks/food for the day as well, even just cartons of beer and a bbq for lunch.

This is assuming we can mostly chill at a house too, so dont have to worry about hiring a venue or anything. Stressful budgeting!

Another issue as mentioned already is transportation too as everyone will be pissed so gotta try minimize travelling..

we did bubble soccer for a mates bucks maybe 7 months ago now, my only advice is do not get shit faced the night before participating in bubble soccer.

Strippers are seriously overrated imo, I know it's somewhat the thing to do but the couple of times I've been most guys find it boring after about 5 minutes.

My mate had a good one a few years ago. We grabbed him from his house around 8am and loaded up on a big breakfast. Played a short course of golf before renting a boat for a few hours on Howe Sound. Sped around there for a bit and tied up on an island and had a bbq. Then we went back to neighborhood, got changed and had some drinks before heading downtown. A couple of bars and clubs before strippers. Was a 20 hour party but a lot of fun.

Been to plenty and seen most of the stupid stuff, tying blokes naked to light posts on main roads and that jazz. Too old for that now, well, more so I can't handle my drink anymore..

Had a great one a few years back for a close mate. Flew down to Melbourne (he lives down there) and his circle are all cyclists. Met in Carlton for breakfast and were given maps and activities to do, all while riding the hire pushies you get on street corners. Was different but had a blast, besides nearly meeting my demise at the hands on a tram. Blame that on smashing bulk beers and shoddy brakes.

I'll have my bucks eventually, and the footy boys want to go deluxe on strippers but have no interest in that, or our usual day at Rosehill or Randwick. I'd prefer a weekend away with a few blokes, play golf, fish, hit the cans.

My mid 20s self would give my such a shaming.
