Sydney's Opera Bar is an impressive spot for a drink every day of the year. Being perched right by Sydney Harbour will do that, of course. Until May, however, the Sydney Opera House spot is paying extra attention to its Sunday lineup — so you can gather the gang, farewell your weekend and psych yourself up for the week ahead with a few drinks, a killer view, something to eat and a soundtrack of live tunes.

That's all on offer as part of Opera Bar's Picnic Social lineup, which takes over the venue each Sunday from 3–10pm. The bill changes weekly, but you can look forward to a heap of local talent — such as Setwun & Soulstranauts, Marco Vella, Stereogamous featuring Jamaica, and Lazywax, plus DJ sets from Simon Caldwell, Kali, Lauren Hansom, Caravan and Ayebatonye. And, that's just a taste of the program.

You'll also be able to sip your way through the venue's menu and, for the occasion, it's teamed up with Four Pillars to bring you three specialty gin cocktails.

For each week's lineup — and to book your spot — head to Opera Bar's website. For further Sydney CBD inspiration visit whatson.sydney/rediscover, or head over to www.sydney.com.
