Golden Hour is a uniquely magical time in Sydney, when the sun begins to drop below the mountains in the west and casts a honey golden glow across the city. And while golden hour is beautiful anywhere in the city, any time of year, there’s something about an autumn evening by the harbour that hits different.
From Thursday, March 20 until Saturday, April 5, one of Sydney’s prime sunset spots will be upping the ante with its golden hour offering; with live entertainment, delicious (and affordable) foodie offerings and ice-cold goblets of (appropriately golden) Aperol Spritz.
Brought to life by the Bars of Barangaroo District, in partnership with everyone’s favourite afternoon aperitif, Golden Hours Barangaroo is a three-week event series designed to bring a whole lot of delight to Sydney’s harbourside precinct before Daylight Savings comes to an end.
From 3pm until 7pm throughout the duration of the event, 25 venues across Barangaroo will be serving up two Aperols for $30 (that’s $15 per drink), with excellent food offerings across the precinct and a varied line-up of live entertainment. Inspired by the Italian ritual of aperitivo, Barangaroo favourites including NOLA Smokehouse, love.fish, Sax Bar, Belles Hot Chicken and CIRQ at Crown Sydney will be offering early evening treats to complement your Spritz, ranging from freshly shucked oysters crowned to spicy chicken sandos.
On Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout the event, expect DJ sets from local tastemakers, roaming entertainment and pop-up “glow-up” experiences courtesy of luxury hair and makeup salon, Status Co. The event will come to a glittering end on the final day of Daylight Savings, Saturday, April 5, with an Aperol-fuelled Aperidisco at Barangaroo House.
