Swine and Co. Launches Mad Men-Inspired Nights
Dapper up for blackjack, Draper-inspired cocktails and All the Crackling.
Sydney's go-to spot for pork-fuelled splendour, Swine & Co., are taking cues from Don Draper et al — launching a brand new night set to transport Sydneysiders to Manhattan's Upper East Side circa 1960. Launching this evening, Wednesday night at Swine Bar is now known as 'Royale Night', inviting you to dapper up and indulge in a game or two of blackjack, Mad Men-inspired cocktails and all those celebrated savoury eats you've travelled across the city for — including those infamous house pork crackling chips.
With the last-of-the-last Mad Men — part two of season seven, CAHMAAHHHHN — on the way for 2014, general Mad Men buzz (and inevitable costume party themes) is about to enjoy one last hurrah at Swine & Co. Head chef Michael Box has created a special Swine Royale menu theme, while shiny new bar manager David Lloyd has used the MM team's favourite spirits as a starting point to inspire a stunning range of cocktails available only on Wednesdays. Try an R&R (Rittenhouse, Amaro Averna, Licor 43 espresso and agave), a Breakaway (chilli and basil-infused 42 Below, tomato, Worcestershire, fresh horseradish and lemon) and more classy specimens, all $18 each.
Fresh out of coin to try more of Lloyd's elixirs? A few rounds of blackjack on the art deco mezzanine level, beside the Champagne bar, could win you free drinks. That's worth brushing up for. Here's some style ideas, in case you hadn't already trawled the web for 'Steal Their Looks' since season one.
Swine and Co.'s Royal Nights launch from November 19 through to December 17. Find the Swine Bar housed in the former Bank of New South Wales; 16 O'Connell Street, Sydney.
