No dickhead policy

We have zero tolerance for aggressiveness. No member of staff should be subjected to violence, threatening and/or abusive behaviour. We will be quick to ask you to leave if we feel you are disrespecting our staff or disturbing other patrons.

Our patrons feel safe in our venue and whilst we appreciate all patronage, we will not tolerate negative vibes. The no dickhead policy is self explanatory. We want everyone to enjoy their experience at The Noble Experiment and we want everyone to feel safe, and comfortable. People who are too loud, boisterous, aggressive or who are harassing other patrons will be asked to leave the venue and possibly banned from ever coming back. Whilst we understand we can all get a little loud when we’re out drinking with friends and we might curse a little here and there, but come on guys, there is a limit. We expect everyone to maintain a reasonable level of noise and a minimal level of cursing. We have a business to run and a reputation to uphold. Please don’t put us in the position where we have to throw you out. No one wins in that situation.

One off event/party booking policy

We thank you so much for considering to book some space with us! This section is for club nights, birthdays, weddings, corporate gatherings, networking events and other one-off events. Whilst we do not charge any fees for our space, we may require a bar tab deposit or a security deposit to secure the space for your one off event. Bar tab deposits must be used on the night.

The security deposit will be returned to you after your event has taken place and once we have checked the space for damages. If any damages have occurred as a result of hosting your party, your deposit will be affected. This also includes any verbal or physical abuse to anyone in the venue. All “security deposits” will not be used as a bar tab.

  • MEZZANINE & GROUND LEVEL January - August
  • We require a security deposit of $100 for all bookings with over 10 guests.
  • We require a security deposit of $250 for all bookings with over 20 guests.
  • We require a security deposit of $350 for all bookings with over 30 guests.
  • We require a security deposit of $500 for all bookings with over 40 guests.
  • We require a bar tab of $1000 if would like to have the entire mezzanine or ground level space to yourself irrespective of how many guests you have
  • Confetti & glitter is not allowed in the venue and will result in loss of your security & damage deposit as we will need a cleaning company to clean it all up.
  • Cleanup fee of $100 for up to 2 bin fulls of any trash left behind after your event which include things like uneaten catering, catering boxes, pizza boxes, party decorations etc.
  • MEZZANINE & GROUND LEVEL September - December
  • We require a security deposit of $100 plus a $100 pre-purchased bar tab for all bookings with over 10 guests.
  • We require a security deposit of $250 plus a $250 pre-purchased bar tab for all bookings with over 20 guests.
  • We require a security deposit of $500 plus a $500 pre-purchased bar tab for all bookings with over 30 guests.
  • We require a security deposit of $750 plus a $750 pre-purchased bar tab for all bookings with over 40 guests.
  • Depending on your guest numbers for your booking, you may have the mezzanine exclusively for a minimum of 3 hours. If most of your guests have left after 3 hours, we may then section you off to allow other patrons to use a different part of the mezzanine. This really depends on your guest numbers as the mezzanine can hold over 80 patrons.
  • A service charge on drinks are applicable on any public holiday we are open.
  • Confetti & glitter is not allowed in the venue and will result in loss of your security & damage deposit as we will need a cleaning company to clean it all up.
  • Cleanup fee of $100 for up to 2 bin fulls of any trash left behind after your event which include things like uneaten catering, catering boxes, pizza boxes, party decorations etc.
  • CLUB BASEMENT
  • We require a security deposit of $1000 for all bookings for the club basement during off-peak season between January and August with a minimum of 50 adult patrons. Should your event fall short of 50 adult patrons, $500 your deposit will not be returned to you and will be used as a room hire fee.
  • We require a security deposit of $1000 for all bookings for the club basement during peak season between September and December with a minimum of 65 adult patrons. If however, you do not have the minimum of 65 adult patrons, $500 will be kept as a room hire fee. If you fall under 50 adult patrons, 100% of the deposit will be kept as a room hire fee. Remember this is our PEAK season and we do not have the usual $8,000/$10,000 minimum spends so paying a small room hire fee isn’t too bad. So just get more than 65 adults drinking at your event to save on a room hire fee!!
  • For any security deposits made to secure your event in the club basement, the monies will be returned to you after your event has taken place and once we inspect the club for damages and provided you meet the minimum of adult patrons quota.
  • If you or any of your guests sneak in their own alcohol for consumption, your deposit will not be refunded and will be used as room hire fee. Remember we do not have a minimum spend or charge you to use the space so bringing in your own alcohol not only breaches our liquor license but also affects our revenue for the night and is a huge slap in the face for our kindness. The lockdowns was tough people. Please ensure your guests do not put us both in a position where we have to keep your deposit.
  • All club security deposits are refundable outside of 21 days of your event date.
  • All club security deposits are non transferable but are 50% refundable within 21 days of your event date.
  • All club security deposits are non transferable and non refundable within 14 days of your event date.
  • A service charge on drinks are applicable on any public holiday we are open.
  • Confetti & glitter is not allowed in the venue and will result in loss of your security & damage deposit as we will need a cleaning company to clean it all up.
