The Smith is hidden just off Chapel Street, and on Cup Day you can head in for a luxe three-course lunch and a glass of prosecco for just $45. They’ll be showing the race in the restaurant. Happy hour will run early from noon until 4pm, with $6 prosecco, house wines, basic spirits and Smith beer, then from 4pm you can enjoy two-for-one cocktails in the Atrium.
Whether you want to kick off the celebrations early at a Cup Day eve party or get started on race day with a bottomless brunch, these venues are helping you to celebrate the race that stops the nation in style. Watch the race on huge screens, frock up for best dressed competitions and then get down to DJs at a banging after party. These are some top spots to get involved in Melbourne Cup festivities this year. After Cup Day each of the venues will also be celebrating Oaks and Stakes Days with after parties as well.
