Overview
There's nothing as heartwarming as a community coming together to support each other — and that's exactly what the trendy inner suburb of Paddington has decided to do. On Thursday, November 21, businesses throughout Paddington will be offering a night of specials, deals, activations, dinners, events and more for Paddo Night Out.
It has been increasingly difficult for independent businesses to stay open in the face of rising costs and corporate competition, with 2024 witnessing the closure of many beloved venues across the city. Grabbing the issue by the horns, The Paddo Collective — a clutch of local businesses collaborating for their collective benefit, supported by the Office of the 24-Hour Economy Commissioner's Uptown Program — has decided to step in with this new event in hopes of revitalising the local scene.
Visit Paddington
Revellers can join Tequila Mockingbird for an outdoor barbecue and $15 margs and other classic cocktails, or stop by The Wine Library street cart, where French-style crepes and glasses of natural wine for $12 will be on offer. The Paddo Inn will be serving $15 margaritas during their 'Playlist Thursdays' DJ set, while The Paddington will run a two-for-one bottle of rosé event along with other cocktail discounts. Fred's will be extending its Aperitif Hour to include more drinks and complimentary snacks, and certainly don't miss free wine tasting at Five Ways Cellar.
At a time when the vibrancy of Sydney's hospitality scene is under threat, Paddo Night Out is a chance to support local businesses without breaking the bank. A cheap drink that supports your favourite local hospos? We'll drink to that.
