Let Aviary Rooftop Bar take the reigns this Melbourne Cup.
Let Aviary Rooftop Bar take the reigns this Melbourne Cup.
Now that we’ve found ourselves firmly planted in the latter half of the year (we’ll spare you the existential crisis re: how, what and why that can possibly be) there’s a few verrrry notable dates looming in the trusty social calendar, one of which happens to be a modest little event known as the Melbourne Cup.. you might have heard of it?
Just horsing around friends, bc we are of course referring to the race that stops the nation #nbd And Phar out, it’s already time to dust off the ol’ faithful fascinator (*cough* or treat yourself to a new one) because the beloved spring spectacle is back again #giddyup
If the mare thought of frocking up for a flutter already has you chomping at the bit, you neigh-d to know that Aviary Bar’s hotly anticipated Rooftop Races event is gearing up to return in very fine form for another year.
Take one action-packed race + add in some spring vibes + a swanky rooftop rendezvous, and you’ve got yourself the ultimate #trifecta of cracking Cup day’s in-steed.
Step one to crushing your Cup day (securing #thefrock, being step two, obvs) is to get those hot little hands on tix for you and the crew, like ASAP – bc this event is always a #sellout.
For $149pp, or $189pp VIP aka Very Important Punters, you’ll be treated to three glorious hours of the full food and bevvy treatment, living large and soaking up those sweeping views of the Gold Coast skyline from atop the hottest rooftop in the North(ern GC). Note these are early bird prices so jump on them as they won’t last long.
And we don’t want to date ourselves here, but if you’re also of the gen that first got to experience the nation’s big race on a dusty old TV set wheeled from the depths of a musty school storage closet, we can never quite resist the call of a fancy little race day soiree #ohhowfarwe’vecome.
The arvo will be off and racing from 12pm, where the beer and wine will free-flowing, while the the stunning alfresco surrounds of the Aviary Bar will be well equipped to handle all the glitz and glamour of race day fashions, dahlings.
If you want to up the ante on your race day par-tay, opt for the extra spesh VIP package – which includes an additional selection of spirits and the exclusive pop up menu of four Garden Spritz options to partake in.
Once you’re certain your thirst has been sufficiently quenched, sidle on up to the delish array of morsels that await you on the grazing table – loaded with savoury and sweet treats and canapes.
And last but not least, we will absolutely be needing a pizza of those woodfired Signature Pizzas #onrepeat (they don’t call them ‘Signature’ for nothin’).
So there you have it, a surefire way to slay your Cup day. Unless, that is, you horse around for too long and miss out – a #hottip straight from the horse’s mouth, those with larger groups should get in sooner rather than later to ensure availability – and your own designated area #fancy.
We really don’t mean to nag, but these tix always sell out, so gather the fillies and gallop on over to secure your spot for an epic spring fling to remember.
