Beers and Bangers Laneway Party

Overview

What's better than a laneway party? A free one that gives back to the community — and that's exactly what the team behind Kyiv Social is hosting in Chippendale.

From Sunday, April 7, running from 1–9pm, the Plate It Forward crew is hosting huge community-focused events at Kyiv Social every month. Partnering with the likes of Young Henrys, LP's Quality Meats and Ukrainian DJs, the hospo team aims to bring the community together for good food, good vibes and a good cause.

The laneway between The Lansdowne and Kyiv Social will be transformed into an outdoor food- and bev-focused hangout, serving to shine a light on those impacted by the war in Ukraine in the process. Plus, newly arrived refugees from the country will be present to engage with their fellow Sydneysiders, with the hope that these events will help build a strong sense of community.

On the food and beverage lineup, there will be Ukrainian-style hotdogs featuring Luke Powell's beef and pork sausages paired with horseradish mayo, fried shallots and Kyiv's house slaw — plus Kyiv sliders starring a herb and garlic butter, and also cabbage slaw, sandwich by a steamed milk bun.

To wash it all down, an exclusive Beloved Ukranian Lager from the Young Henrys crew will be on offer, along with other crowd-pleasing sips to pair.

To top off the event lineup, the Lord Mayor of Sydney will be making an appearance to commence the event and commemorate the official closure of Grafton Lane, which will now become the space for these community-minded events.

Head to Grafton Lane — behind Broadway's heritage-listed building — from 1pm to 9pm this Sunday, and then every first Sunday of the month, to join in on the fun.
