Alberto Lounge has been granted later opening hours — and it's doing cheap drinks and free mortadella sandwiches to celebrate.

Overview

What happens when you get rare approval for extended, late-night trading hours? Well, if you're anything like 70s-inspired enoteca Alberto Lounge, you celebrate by throwing a big ol' party.

That party's taking over the bar on Sunday, November 24, promising eats, beats and boozy treats right through until midnight. From 4pm, you'll catch DJs spinning a soundtrack of throwback Euro grooves, drink specials including a $10 negroni and complimentary serves of Alberto's signature mortadella sandwiches. There'll be 'Nature Morte' t-shirts by Sydney-based print-maker Allie Webb up for grabs, while the kitchen dishes up its full food menu all night long.

Alberto Lounge is now open an extra hour until 1am Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights, and an extra two hours until midnight on Sundays. To match, a refreshed DJ program is set to kick on until late every weekend. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights will remain the same, with the venue open until about midnight.

The bar was opened late last year by the folks behind Restaurant HubertFrankie's and Shady Pines Saloon. Its new hours are another small win for Sydney's nightlife and live music scene, with tough lockout laws on track to be rolled back right across the CBD by the end of the year.
