Town Square Negroni Block Party

Overview

If your go-to cocktail owes a debt to Pascal-Olivier de Negroni — as well as its name — then you probably celebrate Negroni Week however you can. Actually, we're sure you mark the occasion in the best possible way: by drinking the Campari-red beverage of honour, obviously.

South Brisbane's Fish Lane is getting into the spirit, and also helping you sip spirits, with seven days of specials. Think of it as a choose-your-own-adventure negroni fest, with different places doing various specials — and different events popping up on certain days. One part of the fun you shouldn't miss, though, is the Town Square Negroni Block Party, which is taking over the titular patch of pavement from 4pm on Friday, September 16 and Saturday, September 17.

Fish Lane aperitivo go-to Bar Brutus is behind the two-day shindig, with co-owner and bartender Stefan Angelovski overseeing the negroni-sipping shenanigans.

Whether you're popping by after work, before a bite to eat or after dinner, you know what'll be on the menu — and plenty of them. Heading along is free, but you'll obviously pay for what you drink from the pop-up bar.
