mimosas to martinis october 207

Cheers to these drink specials in the 852!

 

We’re well into autumn and that means we’ll be hanging outside (a little!) more often. You’ll find us lounging at our favourite rooftop bars, hiking to the best beach restaurants, enjoying an Elderflower Aperol Spritz at Amalfitana, and tucking into all-you-can-eat ribs and free-flow drinks at Stone Nullah come Monday evening.

And from 18 October to 24 October, 26 of HK’s restos will be celebrating the Fifth Annual East Imperial Gin Jubilee. It’s no secret we Sassy girls love us a G&T, so you’ll find us sipping away at these places.

Looking to the weeks ahead, we can’t wait to try the latest drink specials in the 852
