The Park Pop Up Bar

As the temperature drops I am holding onto dear life to every bit of warmth and sunshine that is left. There is no better place to do this than in Sydney’s latest pop up bar, The Park.

The pack from Pelicano and The Island have joined forced and are responsible for this this garden delight found inside Centennial Park next to the Paddington entry. It is dog friendly, kid friendly but most of all, it is fun. This fun is facilitated by huge cocktails jugs that are so big you can almost swim in them, and wheel barrows full of peronis. So, pack the bags, head for the park and settle in for a delicious night of cheese boards, roasted pork and good times.

The Park pop up bar is open Wednesday to Friday from midday until 10pm and will shut shop on June 2.

Melbourne fun & photos …..

Melbourne is a grown up play ground and a mecca for food lovers, wine lovers, art lovers and lovers of all things beautiful, creative, cold and Collingwood. I have had the pleasure of visiting the southern City a few times over the past few months and was constantly delighted by its hidden small bars, friendly folk, quirky cultural scene, stunning street art and its diverse environment (lane ways, roof tops, river, beach and more). Here is a photographic journey of one of the greatest cities in the world.

Venues throughout the CBD and beyond have come alive with performances and people everywhere. To book see what is available and to book, you can visit www.sydneyfestival.org.au .

The festival ends on 27 January.

Wind in the Willows at the Botanical Gardens
Melbourne and Sydney’s favourite family entertainment continues its well-loved tradition of bringing the animals home to the Royal Botanic Gardens for summer. The play takes place in the gardens, with BYO food and drinks, making it a fun night out for the whole family. The witty script and song writing will have the adults belly laughing along with the kids. There are 10 shows a week, with the last on 27 January, to buy tickets head to: www.shakespeareaustralia.com.au

Pop Up at the House
As part of the Summer at the House program, the Surry Hills cantina is pumping our tacos and margaritas on the harbour for the next few weeks. You can get dangerously delicious jalapeno margaritas and terrific tacos by the tray full. If you’re looking for a more sophisticated spot, you can head upstairs to The Cove cocktail and champagne bar which has been styled for the soon-to-be-released The Great Gatsby. Both bars will be open until 28 January, so don’t miss out!

I tip my tail to the creative genius that came up with this truffle of a gem and their ability to make meat sexy.
