Cocktails & Canapes in the Park

Overview

Casinos don't do things by halves. Take Treasury's new shindig, for example. Putting on their first Cocktails & Canapes in the Park session in what's intended to be a series, they're not just throwing together a few tables of drinks and trays of nibbles. No, they're amassing 12 pop-up cocktail bars and an array of food stalls.

12. Cocktail. Bars. Yes, really. On the menu: Veuve Cliquot Rich, Grey Goose, Bombay Sapphire, Chambord, Pimm's, Herradura, Aperol and more. Beer lovers, you'll also find a craft beer station with Little Creatures brews, plus vino aficionados can expect a wine bar with Squealing Pig, T'Gallant and Wolf Blass drops. And eats-wise, the international-focused range will include fish tacos, pulled BBQ pork sliders, gyoza and prawn skewers.

With live music and a dance floor too, it all gets underway under the Queen's Park Marquee outside the Treasury Hotel from 6pm to 9pm on February 23, with tickets $69 per person. And no, you won't get kicked out come closing time — that's just when the official, paid-for proceedings end, and the event opens its doors to the public.
