Poodle Patio Party

Overview

Most of the time, Poodle Bar & Bistro treads a nuanced line between its Aussie-inspired French cuisine and easygoing wines. However, every once in a while, the venue turns up the volume more than a few notches with special tunes, bites and sips taking over the entire venue.

Those times are known as the Poodle Patio Party — an event that's built quite a reputation over the years for its feel-good vibe and considered lineups. Now hosting its tenth edition from 2–9pm on Sunday, November 30, this is the best time to catch Poodle at its most raucous.

Conceived as a family affair, guest chef Diana, aka frozencola, will draw from her Taiwanese background, serving up top-notch plates like three-cup chicken skewers and Chinese five-spice pancakes. Then, in the courtyard, expect quality pours from admired independent winemakers GUM and Passage throughout the afternoon.

As for the soundtrack, a trio of local legends are getting behind the decks, including Simon TK from Wax'o Paradiso, Turbo Thot and Huge Trackman. With the whole venue coming to life for the event, this day-to-night experience is a suitable way to kick-start the silly season.
