Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see the Melbourne City fireworks from BangPop?

Oooh yeah! We are located right by the Yarra River and there is a fantastic view of the Crown Casino and Melbourne CBD from where we are. Obviously the best view is from our terrace and there is a limited view from inside however, every year we see guests spill on to the promenade to catch a glimpse of the sparkle sparkle at midnight then head back inside following to ring in the new one with a few more beverages.

How does pre-payment work?

For both inside and terrace seating you will pay a specified amount for your food and beverage that will be deducted from your bill on the night.

Why do you have a minimum spend?

We love what we do and want you to experience the best BangPop has to offer. On key event days we would normally provide a set menu however we reckon we should focus on what we do best and that's serving awesome Thai food as we de every day! We ask for a minimum spend so that we can provide our full menu for event evenings with confidence that every customer will enjoy BangPop to it's fullest.

Why do you reqire a set sharing menu for large groups?

We pride ourselves on fast and efficient service. Large groups with individual orders slow down our kitchen meaning that we cannot deliver our standard of fantastic service. The Bling Bling and Wow Kapow menus also showcases our delicious meals and is great value so everyone wins!

How do I select the Wow Kapow Menu for my booking?

When booking your tickets for New Year’s Eve at BangPop, you can choose to upgrade to the Wow Kapow Menu or Bling Bling Menu during the ticket purchasing process.

Please note that the Wow Kapow Menu is $110 per person and the Bling Bling Menu is $85 per person. If you wish to enjoy either of these menus you must be purchased at the time of booking. It is also a minimum of 4 people per table and follows the "one in, all in" policy, meaning the entire table will enjoy the same menu together.

Are children welcome?

Yes we are a family friendly venue, children are welcome and can order from our kids menu.

What is the minimum spend for children?

The minimum spend is calculated per person but applies to the entire reservation so for this reason, children also require the same minimum spend as adults. You can use your credit for food and drink for the entire reservation rather than just the child.

Do kids need to select the Wow Kapow Menu or Bling Bling Menu if the rest of the table chooses it?

No, kids are not required to select the set menu for the table. Children can order from the kids’ menu even if the rest of the table is enjoying the Wow Kapow or Bling Bling Menu.

However, the minimum spend per person still applies for the entire reservation, so any spend for kids will be counted toward the overall group total.

Can children sit on the terrace?

Children are welcome on the terrace however they will be required to pay the full amount of $110 for 3 hours of bottomless soft drinks and $65 minimum spend on food.

I don't drink alcohol, do I have to pay for the bottomless drinks on the terrace?

Yes, we have plenty of non-alcohol options for you :)

I'm arranging a group of people to come, do we have to book all at the same time?

No! You can set up a group name and then let everyone know to use your reference when they log in to pay. Don't forget to let them know what time and the area you have booked so they're not sat in a different space!

What is your cancellation policy?

We totally understand things change! We'll accept cancellations and will refund your purchase less the Eventbrite fees up until Christmas Day 2025, after this we cannot provide a refund.

I have allergies or dietary requirements, do you cater for these?

Absolutely! We pride ourselves on being friendly to just about every allergy and intolerance known to man! If you head over to our Visual Menu we outline the most common allergens here. If you download the Bling Bling menu here it outlines the dietary amendments available if pre-arranged. For any others you may have questons about please feel free to make contact by contacting the organiser below.
