At any time of the year, Sydney's sunsets are hard to beat. To usher in the season of shorter days and longer nights (but no less spectacular sunsets), Barangaroo is hosting Golden Hours: three weeks of glowing, orange-hued sunset sessions featuring roaming performers, DJs, food specials — and Aperol Spritzes at two for $30 at 25 venues throughout the precinct — until Saturday, April 5. The participating venues have also created Aperol-pairing food menus. Drop by Belles Hot Chicken for two pounds of buffalo wings plus two Spritzes for $40, NOLA Smokehouse and Bar for a two-hour snack and spritz menu for $55 per person, or Sax Bar for a pre-dinner spread featuring gruyère croquettes, salt and pepper calamari and more for $35 a pop. If you'd like a golden-hour glow-up, head to Status Co. The salon is delivering an array of beauty packages that'll give you that golden glow, including the Spritz Up, a 45-minute blow dry and make-up refresh for $100, and the Glow Up, an 80-minute full hair and make-up service, plus bottomless Aperol Spritzes, for $140. The aperitivo menus will be available between 3–7pm every day, but there'll be live entertainment from DJs and roving performers, as well as a 360-degree photo booth and free makeup sessions on Thursdays, Fridays and weekends. Swing by on the final day for Aperidisco, a house party-style fest with performances by Return to Rio and Double Touch DJs, as well as Aperol Spritz giveaways, competitions and more.
