  • All systems go for Sydney!

    While Sydney’s freedom day did not disappoint, Melbournians no longer need to pretend we are drinking coffee while have a sneaky martini. Onwards and upwards people!

  • Refreshing pick-me-up

    We are loving this gin and cucumber cocktail as the sunshine comes out. It’s great for spring and summer, and you can pop some in a soda or soft drink container and take it picnicking.

  • The NSW opening road map is out!

    Freedoms for vaccinated adults will come into effect on the Monday after NSW hits the 70 per cent double dose target. They include vertical drinking. Hospitality venues can reopen subject to one person per 4sqm inside and one person per 2sqm outside, with standing while drinking permitted outside. We’ll drink to that!

Established in 2005, Tazio was among the first of the new school restaurants in Flinders Lane before it was a cool precinct. The Function Room includes a large rectangular space that is…

  • Melbourne is opening back up, and here is THE venue to celebrate in

    Arcadia has three terrific spaces to choose from depending how many thirsty guests you have. They are all gorgeous, and include a rooftop for when the Melbourne chill lifts.

  • Melbourne punters rejoice with more easing of restrictions

    From Friday more Melbournians were allowed on dance floors, as Covid restrictions dropped back to their most relaxed in more than a year. The patron cap was lifted to 75 per cent of capacity and a dance floor rule restricting dancers to 50 people has been lifted. Also if you prefer socialising at home you…

  • Brisbane party precincts empty this weekend due to lockdown.

    Fingers crossed Brissy, that you will be out celebrating again soon.

  • Sydney clubs closed

    Stay Covid safe and fingers crossed we can all be out clubbing again soon. Sydney we got this.
