Planning an Event Here
Old Mates Pub is a three-story, 10,000-square-foot Australian pub in the Financial District that hosts everything from small reserved gatherings to full-venue buyouts of up to 430 guests. Each floor has a distinct character — a lively main-floor Front Bar, a quieter second-floor Harbour Room, and a basement Sticky Carpet Lounge built for DJ parties — so events can be matched to the right space rather than one generic room.
Vibe
Lively, authentic, and welcoming Aussie pub atmosphere — casual sports viewing and pub energy on the main floor, quieter dining upstairs, and energetic dive-bar nightlife with DJs in the basement.
Space Layout
Three floors plus an outdoor patio: the main-level Front Bar with its 60-foot bar, TVs, and pool table; the second-floor Harbour Room, a bistro-style space with its own bar and views; the basement Sticky Carpet Lounge with a DJ setup; and an outdoor patio that operates as a beer garden.
Private Events
The venue offers flexible options ranging from intimate table reservations to semi-private sections, private floors, and full buyouts of up to 430 guests. The Harbour Room suits private dining and exclusive parties, while the Sticky Carpet Lounge works for DJ-driven private parties. Reservations are typically limited to special events, but private sections can be booked.
Food & Drinks
Australian-inspired pub food including chicken parma, meat pies, and pavlova, alongside an all-Australian wine list, Aussie beers on tap, and signature cocktails. Multiple floors have their own bars.
Group Size
Comfortable hosting a wide range of group sizes — from intimate gatherings of roughly 10–20 in a reserved section, up to a full three-floor buyout accommodating as many as 430 guests.
