About this space

Polly Cocktail Bar is a one of a kind – with a plush, boudoir-inspired interior, deep leather armchairs, chaise lounges and swathes of velvet, along with gilt-framed pre-Raphaelite paintings and Art Deco embellishments your guests are guaranteed not to be disappointed.

Our Side Bar Function is located in the main bar (the area to the right hand side of the photo).

This area is perfect for groups of up to 35 guests, where they can fit comfortably, have seating available & standing space to mingle. Min spend of $500 for the group.

The space is adjoining our main bar for easy drink ordering, and is a reserved area in the main bar for that amazing 1920's Parisian theme! Please note it is in view of the other guests, however you would have a reserved area only for your guests.

The space consists of bar stools, a seated couch area, and standing space for your guests to mingle.

Great communication and flexibility from the venue, they went out of their way to make sure our night ran smoothly. Host was also extremely efficient with messaging and organization before the event. Very easy to deal with. Highly recommend.
