Overview

The winter solstice is on our doorstep and Melbourne's about to stumble through the darkest weekend of the year. But one South Yarra bar will be lighting things up, with a two-day celebration of life's best things: mates, booze and music. Leonard's House of Love is teaming up with Tell Your Friends You Love Them (TYFYLT) — a not-for-profit organisation raising awareness for mental illness — to host a weekend-long 'love in' friend fest, on June 22 and 23. Across both days, the bar will be slinging a range of crisp brews from Sydney's Young Henrys, with 100 percent of those beer profits going to support TYFYLT's work.

None of your mates free this weekend? No worries. On Saturday, June 22, you'll have the chance to meet some new besties, at a live tune-backed Speed Metal Speed Friending session. Think speed dating, only for mates instead of dates (if you went to Boogie this year, you might have seen it in action).

The following day, Leonard's will offer up max Sunday vibes, brunch cocktails and a banging Black Sabbath soundtrack. A specialty bloody mary bar will be stocked with loads of garnishes and extras to really pimp out your Sunday session, with all profits from the spicy cocktails going to TYFYLT. There'll also be 80s metal tunes spinning throughout the afternoon, a stack of drink specials and a fundraising raffle that'll see one lucky punter walk away with a loaded pub hamper.
