“Eat popcorn at any Mucho bar and you could find one of five $1000 vouchers to spend at the group’s venues. It’s like Willy Wonka – but with popcorn. Mucho is behind some of our favourite cocktail bars in Sydney, but the team has also won firm fans for its addictive free popcorn. Each bar has its own signature, from Bar Bridge’s nori seasoning to Bar Planet’s curry dust and Centro’s sugar and sumac popcorn.”

“Sydney’s Martini masters at Bar Planet are bringing back the brine for a one-night event in which you get to create the dirty Martini of your dreams. A trip to Bar Planet is like stepping into an art nouveau-era bistro installed on the moon. The moody Newtown drinking den is by the team behind world-beating agave-spirit bars Cantina OK, Tio’s and Centro 86.”

“Have you ever been served a Martini with two olives? We reckon probably not. Legend has it that a Martini garnished with an even number of olives is bad luck. But what’s the correct number? How many is too many? Does it change depending on the type of Martini? And are there particular olives we should be using? All very important questions. So, in celebration of National Olive Day (June 1, FYI), we’ve asked some people who love Martinis as much as we do for the answers.”

“Sip and save during happy hour at these bars and venues across the city serving affordable drinks and bargain bites.It’s winter in Sydney. The temperature’s dropping, prices are rising, and even your group chats are going quiet. In times like these – when a single round can cost an arm and a leg – we’re especially grateful for a good happy hour.”
