Pontoon Snow Party

Overview

Just because you're not heading to the snow for the first weekend of ski season, doesn't mean you have to miss out on all the fun. St Kilda's Pontoon Bar is bringing the mountain vibes to you, with its annual Snow Party, this Sunday, June 9.

The beachside hot-spot is set to heat up the long weekend, as it transforms into a cosy winter chalet, complete with powdered snow, all-you-can-eat paella and a swag of food and drink specials to warm those cockles.

You can kick things off early from 12pm, with $25 per person bottomless paella from the venue's new Basque-inspired menu on offer throughout the day (bookings essential). Otherwise, roll in from 3pm, nab a spot by the crackling outdoor fire and settle in with some well-priced drinks — there'll be $5 wines and pots, $10 espresso martinis and mulled wines, and a cosy Cherry & Cinnamon Sour, also for just a tenner.

Throw in half-price tapas and some DJ tunes and you've got yourself a pretty good antidote to those winter blues.

Entry is free, though if you RSVP via Pontoon's website, you'll be in with a shot at winning a Mt Buller lift pass for two.
