Bloody Mary Buffet

Overview

The East Village's panoramic rooftop terrace doesn't just boast city  views — from this weekend, the Darlinghurst hotel will also offer a brunch every Saturday and Sunday.

From Saturday, March 10, the venue will open from 10am, with a DIY bloody mary station ready and waiting. It will include every garnish and condiment you can think of, from citrus, celery and cucumber to bacon, prawns, bocconcini and seven types of hot sauce. Choose your spirit base — gin, tequila, vodka or white rum — then go nuts with the add-ons. One cocktail will set you back $18, or you can indulge in two hours of unlimited access to the booze buffet for $40.

For food, the kitchen's serving up pub grub like breakfast sloppy joes and fried chicken and waffles ($18 each), along with healthier options like spiced beef bibimbap, vegan garden bowls and wholemeal blueberry pancakes ($15–22). This means you can still nurse your hangover while brunching with your more active friend who's just finished their Saturday morning workout.
