Overview
Having just reopened earlier this month, Merivale's The Royal in Bondi wasn't quite ready in time to take part in the group's Bottoms Up, Sydney campaign, where each of the group's venues slashed its drinks by 49 percent from 5–7pm daily across the entire month of June.
But that doesn't mean the eastern suburbs pub has missed out on the happy hour fun completely — instead, The Royal will be hosting its own (almost) half-price happy hour — Bottoms Up, Bondi — offering the same 49 percent off daily deal throughout October.
Head in from 5–7pm any day next month to score some very impressive savings on all cocktails, beer, spirits, wine and Champagne, as the pub sets out to cement itself as a favourite in the hearts of thirsty locals.
The pub, which has been kicking around in some capacity since 1907, was acquired by Merivale late last year and is now pouring a hefty range of booze for just about every palate and budget. Swing by to get your nearly half-price kicks with a summery daiquiri, an espresso martini on tap, an interesting bottle of natural wine, or even something bubbly, celebratory and French.
The Royal's attached retail offering The Bottle Shop has also reopened, and the pub's restaurant and courtyard will be back in action by summer, playing host to an exciting yet-to-be-announced food pop-up for the sunny season.
Find The Royal at 283 Bondi Road, Bondi. It's open 10am–midnight, Mon–Sat and 10am–10pm, Sun. Bottoms Up, Bondi will run from 5–7pm daily for all of October.
