“The dating scene is, let’s face it, a bit of a jungle. And if you’re feeling app fatigue and keen to take things back to good old-fashioned IRL chemistry, we hear you. That’s why we’ve teamed up with our mates at ING for a very special, very fun singles night: Dating on a Dime. Because in a world with rising costs and swipe fatigue, we're swapping small talk for spend talk and redefining what it really means to be a "good match" in 2026.”

“Dine Out has three happy hour trails split between Enmore, Potts Point and the CBD. They’re all good, but the CBD trail packs the biggest punch with eight venues taking part. Several of them are collaborating with other CBD venues to celebrate the width and breadth of the city’s scene. From black truffle Martinis and MSG Margs to half-priced Japanese whiskey and sorbet-spiked Daiquiris, here are the venues taking part in the Dine Out CBD happy hour.”

“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.”

“Look, we’re suckers for anything secret or remotely hidden, especially when there are cocktails at the end of the rainbow. While most secluded speakeasies in Sydney/Eora are hardly a secret, some are well-hidden, which means they can be tricky to find, especially in the dark.”

“If you're over hot cross buns and chocolate eggs and feel like venturing out on the long weekend, there are plenty of hotspots to choose from. Hit this list for the cafes, restaurants and bars staying open in Sydney over the four days.”

“The countdown to the 2026 Easter long weekend has begun. Yep, that glorious four-day weekend is on the horizon, so we can soak up the crisp autumn air and indulge in way too much chocolate.”
