Exclusive Venue Hire Docklands Melbourne

Your people. Your pub.

Close the doors to the public and make Invergordon yours for the agreed booking period — tartan, timber, eight taps and the Highland whisky shelf included.

Private venue hire beyond regular opening hours.
Available 7am–1am Monday–Saturday and 10am–1am Sunday. Choose an early start, a daytime gathering or a late finish for your corporate event, birthday or private celebration. Enquire for venue hire with your preferred start and finish times.

What exclusive hire includes

The whole venue

No competing bookings and no public access during your agreed function period.

Your choice of food

We have no kitchen, so BYO catering and delivered food are welcome. Choose what suits your crowd and budget.

A drinks plan that fits

Run a capped bar tab, let guests pay as they go, or combine the two. We will put the agreed arrangement in writing.

Room for 97

Capacity is 53 inside and 44 on the terrace. We will recommend the right layout for your numbers.

Build the occasion around your people

There is no separate room-hire fee. Exclusive bookings use a minimum spend across the bar.

Current minimums start at $2,500 on Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday; $4,500 Friday; and $6,000 Saturday, or $60 per guest where that is higher. Monday hire is available by enquiry, with timing and minimum spend quoted for your booking.

A 25% deposit confirms the date and is credited to your tab. Your finish time is agreed in advance and can extend within the hours allowed by our licence.

Some formats require security. If yours does, we will explain the requirement and cost in the written quote before you commit.

Prices, availability and any security requirement are confirmed in writing for exclusive bookings. A 10% surcharge applies Saturday and Sunday and 15% on public holidays.

Eight taps and 41 Scottish whiskies

Scottish and Irish favourites, house lagers, wine, spirits and alcohol-free options. See the current drinks menu.

No compulsory catering package

Order takeaway or catering that suits the group. See nearby food options.

Before you choose the date

Can we hire the venue outside regular opening hours?

Private venue hire is available outside our regular public opening hours: 7am–1am Monday–Saturday and 10am–1am Sunday. Corporate events, birthdays, engagements and other private functions can book an agreed period within these hours, subject to availability. Send an enquiry with your date, start and finish times; out-of-hours venue hire is arranged directly with us.

How many people can attend?

Up to 97 across the venue: 53 inside and 44 outside.

Is there a venue-hire fee?

No separate hire fee applies. Exclusive hire is secured by an agreed minimum spend across the bar.

Can we bring catering?

Yes. BYO catering and delivered food are welcome. We do not provide plates, cutlery or napkins, and packaging leaves with you.

How long can exclusive hire run?

The booking period is agreed with you in advance and can extend within the hours our liquor licence allows.

Can we have a DJ?

Potentially. Tell us when enquiring, as amplified music and some event formats may require security and must suit the venue and licence.

Can we book a Monday?

Yes. Monday venue hire is available by enquiry, including outside regular opening hours. Timing and minimum spend are confirmed around existing bookings.
