Triffid J's Hottest 100 Party

Overview

When The Triffid starts welcoming patrons at 11am at Saturday, January 27, here's a tip: rush through the door, find your favourite spot and settle in for the long haul. Trust the Newstead venue to have all your plans covered. Want to listen to the nation's biggest countdown? Have a few brews? Play bingo? Consider it all sorted.

On the agenda: Triffid J's Hottest 100 Party, which boasts not only free entry but also drinks specials. And, you'll be in a place that exists thanks to someone who knows a thing or two about the triple j Hottest 100: Powderfinger's John Collins.

The Triffid's shindig will make the most of the venue's leafy beer garden, where burgers, cheese and bacon fries, salt and pepper squid, and sweet potato croquettes are among the options to help line your stomach.

The usual drinks list also includes spicy passionfruit margaritas, cherry whisky sours, lychee martinis and strawberry watermelon daiquiris — summery drinks if ever we heard of them.
