Christmas Cocktails at Piano Bar

Overview

Emporium's Piano Bar glitters every day of the year, all thanks to its cascading gold and crystal chandelier, as well as its sizeable array of shiny black mirrored surfaces. Come Christmas, it doesn't need to do much decorating to sparkle — but the luxe South Bank spot is serving up festive cocktails to get you in a merry, jolly mood.

Until the big day hits, two seasonal tipples are on offer for those who like their Christmas spirit with some actual spirits. The 'Rum and Raisin' combines Ron Zacapa, Havana 7, port, chocolate bitters and a burnt cinnamon stick, while the 'Christmas Pear-ty' features Beefeater pink gin, elderflower, pomegranate and pear. They'll both set you back $20.

Whether you're doing your seasonal celebrating over lunch or after work, the cocktails are available from 10am until close every day of the week.

Timing your visit to coincide with the venue's regular live music lineup is recommended — hear a pianist tickle the ivories from 5pm on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays, and from 2pm on Sundays. On Thursdays from 6pm, and Friday and Saturday nights from 8pm, live jazz also echoes through the space.
