New Year's Eve at Opera Bar

Overview

Opera Bar, with its front row harbourside seat, has been one of the top spots for New Year's Eve in Sydney for an age — and this year will be no exception. Sitting front and centre for the multimillion-dollar fireworks, Opera Bar's NYE party involves big hair, Donna Summer vibes and mirror balls. The party is Studio 54 themed, so pop on your highest platforms, don your finest flares and head down to this lively NYC-style disco den.

Keen to ring in the new decade by boogying beside Sydney Harbour? There'll be tunes from party group Bermuda Social, Stax-style soul band The Soulphonics, local electro duo Ctrl Alt Delicious and DJ Natural Selector.

Of course, it wouldn't be a celebratory occasion without fine French bubbly, which is why there'll be a Veuve Clicquot pop-up bar on the night, keeping you suitably soused. There'll also be a slushie bar where you can pick up an ice-cold miami vice, pina colada or strawberry daiquiri. Or, opt for a beer, wine or spirit from the usual bar menu. And so you can line your stomach, there'll be a popcorn machine and a Brooklyn Boy Bagel bar on site, plus retro American snacks such as pretzels and corndogs on offer all night.

Tickets are a cool $499.50 (including booking fee) and cover all the snacks, dance-worthy tunes and sweeping views you could ever hope for, but do not include drinks. Doors open at 6pm and the event runs till well past midnight.
