Final Fling Before the Ring
A day you'll never forget deserves a night you'll never remember. We've found the best places for you to head out on your Hen's Night, so your brain is free to absorb dress designs, seating arrangements, florists and the mother-in-law.
At first thought you might say, "Hey, It's all going to be a blur anyway, why bother telling me where to drink?" Well, even though you might plan on someone steering you home in a shopping trolley after your last night of freedom, your friends will want a decent beverage and at least later when you're being told about the furniture you danced on, it will have been tasteful furniture. Don't forget to use your bride power to make your girlfriends dress in ridiculous outfits; it's your night and if you can't pick up, your friends shouldn't be able to either.

Only go here if you have girlfriends that actually eat, because with more than 50 kinds of tequila on offer, you don't want your guests starting their night on an empty stomach.

Fringe Bar

Grab the girls and partake in one of the in-house pole dancing classes. Be warned, you are going to think that your skills are improving as you comsume more vodka, but in reality, they're not. If you don't believe us, watch the CCTV later.

The Loft
Melbourne

Are you one of those brides that got conned into taking the mother-in-law, aunts and grandmas along on your big night out? Never fear, The Loft serves high tea: weekend afternoons featuring the genius that is cocktails in teapots. Start your evening here and all of your future relatives will think you're one classy lady. Just don't mix up your cosmo kettle with Nanna's Earl Grey tea.

If you're the head bridesmaid, cheat. These guys have been organising Hen's Nights for years. Let them do all the work, sit back, and enjoy the gushing 'thank you' toast.

Robarta
St Kilda
|
It's pink, it's plush and it's open until 7am on weekends. It's nestled in St Kilda's happening hub so once last drinks have been called, depending on your stamina levels, you can roll out onto the footpath and head straight to breakfast.

Northies
Cronulla
|
Any establishment that combines complimentary manicures with cheap cocktails is clearly worth a mention. Let's just hope that the beautician theme ends there though, as a leg wax would be little odd.
