Aussie and lovin’ it…
…Americans have Fourth of July, and we Aussies have Australia Day. We love our country and we definitely love the public holidays that come with celebrating the nation that’s seen us through the ups and downs of life. Here are all the best places where you can eat great food and drink yourself happy with all your best mates. We’ll cheers to that!
The Newport always has been a buzzy, standout venue perfect for knocking back cold ones and jumping on a bike ride around the shore, but on Australia Day, expect better-than-good vibes, and an energetic atmosphere.
This year’s Australia Day will see The Jump Cats performing up-tempo blues with plenty of jumping and material and tunes to get your dance on. The sprawling space has plenty of open-air spaces with a waterfront locale, communal deck, giant-sized games and a smattering of food options. It’ll feel just like a barbie in a friend’s (really) big backyard.
Where better to celebrate Australia Day than at what must be Australia’s most iconic bar? Located in the Sydney Opera House itself, soak in the Sydneysider spirit on the alfresco deck set right on the water’s edge with picture-perfect views of the harbour in the background.
There’s live music, sharing plates, and cocktails in masses. Toast the night away under a starlit sky and enjoy your Australia Day.
Try the $35 King salmon with olives, capers, and romesco.
The city’s iconic rooftop bar that’s perched at The Rocks features sprawling panoramas of the harbour, Opera House, and city skyline.
Serving contemporary, elevated bistro food, the menu here has all the Australian classics you love mixed with a good smattering of Asian-fusion style thrown in for good measure. You’d be hard-pressed to find another locale reeking with as much fanfare and celebration as The Glenmore, and really, why would you want to? Dish Cult recommends the $23 Chicken Schnitzel.
The Pav is a hive that’s ever humming with energy, life, and something to eat and drink. Split into three different floors with three individual vibes, the ground floor makes for a perfect Australia day family get-together, complete with casual meals and a child-friendly space that’s guaranteed to entertain kids for hours on end.
The middle floor serves Mediterranean fine-dining goodness with a cocktail bar and the top floor boasts sprawling seaside views and alfresco bar dining where you can eat and drink your heart out. At The Glenmore, there’s something for everyone and definitely something for the public holiday. What you should try? The $30 Barramundi with pickled globe artichokes and parsley.
The Italian-dining stalwart of Sydney’s iconic Finger Wharf has been dishing out modern Italian fare for over 21 years to eager diners who flock over in masses.
Harbourfront dining with sparkling water views set the scene for a spectacular night of la dolce vita over drinks, pasta, and plenty of laughs. Celebrate Australia day in style with Otto’s $54 Byron Bay Berkshire pork cutlet with charred greens and mustard dressing.
