Welcome to HAPPY HOURS, a celebration of all good things in our neighbourhood.

This spring, we’ve brought together a ton of special retail promotions, art, live performance, plus food and drink deals.

Our precincts have the best that Sydney has to offer – from coffee to negronis, small bars, world class restaurants, roof top views and plenty of bakeries – no need to bake your own sourdough ever again.

But, as they say in the classics, use it, or lose it!

This is the time to show your support for the indie record shop, the local fashion boutique, your favourite barista, or pizzeria, or wine bar. It’s been a tough year and we all need a helping hand.

Why not check out the live theatre performances at ESCAC and Eternity Playhouse as they open their doors once more – the audiences are smaller but the big talent abounds.

This year we support the efforts of Heart On My Sleeve, the global mental health social movement, and many pubs in the ‘hood are offering $5 Young Henrys beers to raise funds for HOMS during October.

Venues, restaurants and bars are looking a little bit different right now and your shopping experience, or taking in an art exhibition could be a bit less crowded, as we all adjust to the new ‘new’.

All of our participants are COVID compliant, so you may be asked to make a reservation, book in small groups, be aware of reduced venue capacity, keep your distance, or register your name. Rest assured that the safety and well-being of local business, guests and our wider community is always on our mind.

We hope you enjoy this program we’ve put together and encourage you to support local in any way you can.
