- The best value we found is Bar Nina in Darlinghurst: $59 for 2 hours, or $30 an hour.

- For a group of 8 on a Sunday, the typical Sunday surcharge and group service charge turn a $99 package into about $120 each, 21% more than advertised. Add the typical cocktail upgrade and it's $144 each, or $1,152 for the table.

| Deposit, prepayment or card hold | 12 | |
| Cheaper price for non-drinkers | 7 | $69 per person |

| Median advertised package | $99 pp |
|---|---|
