Goros' Third Birthday Bash

Overview

Surry Hills' late-night haunt Goros is turning three years old this month and it's celebrating in true Japanese izakaya fashion: a big blow-out party. Actually, it's a week's worth of them. The birthday bash will extend across six days from Monday, November 26 through Saturday, December 1. And the best part? All of the events are free.

The festivities will kick off on Monday, November 26 with $1 gyoza available all night. All of Goros' classic flavours — chicken and onion, pork and shallot, prawn and leek and shiitake and quinoa — will be on offer, plus a handful of specials. On Tuesday, November 27 the venue will host The Best of Goros Trivia — a retrospective on the venue's usual Tuesday night trivia, with themes spanning The Simpsons, Rick & Morty, The Office and video games, to name a few. November 28 will get your mid-week rocking with a full blown bonenkai, typically known as a Japanese end-of-year drinking party, with DJs and a go-go dancer in tow. It's a great opportunity to round up the work crew and let loose — think ties on heads. We won't tell your boss.

November 29 is the sure-to-be hilarious Goros' Castle night — a challenge event based on the Japanese game show Takeshi's Castle. It'll include three dumpling eating competitions, an Instagram scavenger hunt, a Mario Kart tournament and a truly terrifying 'blow the ball' contest — where two competitors try to blow spicy wasabi through a pipe at each other.

And finally, Saturday, December 1 will be the biggest party of all. The finale birthday bash will feature Japanese rapper Coma-Chi. The artist, who will be in Sydney to record her next album, will be both acting as DJ and performing live. She'll be followed by Le Fruit DJs and neon dancers, and you can expect the party to rage into the wee hours.

Drinks specials by Asahi and highballs by Nikka whisky will be on offer the entire week, too. While entry is free to all events, booking ahead is a must if you want to secure a table — so head over here to book now.
