The Dolphin Hotel's First Birthday Party

Overview

It has been a whole year since The Dolphin Hotel threw open its revamped doors, which can only mean one thing. Yes, a first birthday calls for a first birthday party — and, given the Surry Hills pub is quite the stylish joint inside, it's marking the occasion in a fittingly ace manner.

First up, the music. Get 'Out of Mind, Out of Sight' with '80s rockers The Models, who'll be strutting their stuff live. They'll have support from a back-to-back DJ lineup, including The Original Roman, Ben Fester, Kali, Adi Toohey, Andy Webb, Ariane, Mike Sydney, Dj Salami, Dreamcatcher, Jimmy Sing, Michelle Owen, Parihaka, Physique and Keep Sydney Open's Tyson Koh.

So, you know why you're celebrating on August 3, and what you're partying to — but does this shindig have food and drinks to match? If you've been to The Dolphin before, then you already know the answer, with Maurice Terzini and Monty Koludrovic taking care of the nosh and James Hird on beverage duty. As far as eating up a storm is concerned, expect to munch through a few greatest hits menus of the venue's faves, such as sandwiches, pies, and freshly roasted and carved porchetta panini in the public bar; pizza slices, burrata and Afghan bread in the dining room; and a separate mortadella and natural wine party in the wine room. Drinks will range from Negronis to gin and tonics to champers, draft beer and tinnies, plus the usual menu.

And, if all that doesn't sound like enough fun, tickets only cost $20. That includes food, plus a cash entry donation to Crown St Public School.
