THE SPACES
VYC offers two exceptional private venues with breathtaking views of the Viaduct Marina, perfect for a wide variety of events including dinners, corporate staff and customer events, meetings, birthday celebrations, and weddings.
VYC on the ground floor is spacious yet intimate, featuring a large bar and a cozy open fire. For a more intimate affair, the Black Door, located on level 1 is ideal for smaller parties and dining. It has its own bar, bathroom, and entrance, yet can conveniently connect to VYC via an internal door, allowing seamless movement between the two spaces for larger events.
Both VYC and the Black Door are versatile, transforming from a corporate workshop setting to a vibrant party with DJs. Each event has 100% exclusive use of the venue, giving you complete control over décor, music, lighting, and setup. With a picturesque location and customisable features, VYC and the Black Door are perfect for creating memorable and unique events, and our friendly staff will make you feel right at home.

BECS BRADLEY
Event Planner
Becs took over what was then Bungalow 8 just before Covid hit — not exactly perfect timing. Originally a Viaduct bar and restaurant, the venue quickly evolved into something new: a private events space. During the early days of Covid, it became one of the first “bubbles” where guests could safely gather without needing to be seated.
Since then, VYC has weathered the storm and come out stronger. We’ve hosted hundreds of events and built a reputation for making things run smoothly. Every Tuesday, we ask ourselves the same question: “What did we learn, and how can we do it better?” That mindset has helped us keep growing, refining, and improving what we offer.
Becs will personally guide you through the planning process and create an Event Masterplan — a clear document that maps out your event in detail. Our whole team uses it to make sure everything runs according to plan, and always with our team mantra in mind: Smooth & Stress-Free.
