Cherry Bomb at Goros
This lively party will transport you to Japan's cherry blossom season via pink installations, lanterns, karaoke, DJs, cocktails and eats.
Overview
Been dreaming of a cherry-blossomed-filled trip to Japan, but can't quite afford the cash or time? Surry Hills' Japanese dive bar Goros has you sorted.
It's bringing cherry blossom season to Sydney with Cherry Bomb. For six weeks, the venue will be transformed into a pink wonderland, inspired by clubs all over Tokyo that do the same.
As soon as you walk in, you'll be transported via pink installations, lanterns, karaoke and DJs. Equally pink is the cocktail list. Take a seat under cascading sakura blooms while sipping on a Momo Kitty (Nikka Coffey vodka, peach sake, yuzu and green apple) or an Ume Sour (Nikka Days whisky, umeshu, watermelon and lemon) – and sampling watermelon sashimi, tempura prawn bao and strawberry fried ice cream.
But perhaps the real highlight is Goros Castle, happening during the first week of May. It's a chaotic contest where you get to prove yourself in a series of fun competitions — from eating giant ramen to wrestling in a sumo suit.
Cherry Bomb is on from Wednesday, April 2, to Saturday, May 10. To get in on the action, head along any day from Wednesday to Saturday from 4pm.
