The best time to book a nightclub is anytime between 2 to 3 months in advance. Booking this early ensures that you will have a broad selection of venues to choose from. So once you decide on the date of your party, act fast, and start browsing for the ideal venue before someone steals it from you.
It mainly depends on the venue’s policy. Most nightclubs have their own bars, which means they are less likely to allow BYOB. However, that’s not always the case. You can always ask the venue manager or thoroughly check the offer, that way you’ll be one hundred percent sure and avoid any unpleasant situations.
The availability or type of catering offered truly depends on the venue. Some of them offer catering services while some don’t, so it’s best to ask about that when you send an inquiry. If the venue doesn’t provide catering, they may offer you a list of preferred caterers with whom they prefer to work which can be helpful as you won’t need to search for a caterer on your own. Also, you may win some discounts as well!
Be sure and check for packages that might suit your event, and don’t be afraid to negotiate with the venue manager for a better deal. When vetting your options, start in Barangaroo - the district offers venues with tropical cocktails, multilevel dance floors, VIP experiences with boutique cocktails and huge complexes that combine dining and dancing. Don’t ignore majestic Anzac Parade either and its gay club scene, which is raucous and awesome. Bear in mind that Sydney’s well-known lock-out laws and other restrictions can hamper any truly late night plans, so just be clear on your timetable as you book - and have a great night!
