NYE Tropicala

Overview

While an actual holiday to Hawaii might be off the cards for some time, Brisbanites — and those visiting the River City — can get a good dose of vacay vibes at Osbourne Hotel's New Year's Eve party, aptly dubbed NYE Tropicala.

Wave goodbye to 2020 (finally, finally!) and celebrate a brand new year at the Fortitude Valley venue's extravaganza, complete with hula dancers and fire performers, themed food stations, a Hendricks gin bar, champagne at midnight and, of course, plenty of piña coladas served in pineapples. Although the official event ends at midnight, the pub will be open till late, so you can continue to dance into the early hours.

Tickets are $105 a pop, plus a booking fee, and include unlimited food and selected drinks for four hours. As part of the deal, you'll also score a piña colada on arrival — plus champagne when the clock strikes 12.

NYE Tropicala runs 8pm till midnight. To book, head to the website or to the Facebook event.
