With its west-facing waterfront and excellent line-up of restaurants, Barangaroo has earned its rep as one of the best spots for a sunset drink in Sydney. Pair that with live music and a pop-up bar serving special cocktails and you’ve got a pretty failsafe formula for a summer evening. Enter Sunset Sessions: a three-week event series popping up at Barangaroo’s Watermans Cove this summer.
Running from 4pm until 9.30pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, the double-decker pop-up bar will play host to DJs spinning vinyl retro classics, with hydration coming in the form of native-inspired cocktails (think Davidson Plum Old Fashioneds) plus wine, cider, seltzer and 4 Pines lager on tap.
The pop-up bar is free to enter, so you can splash out on a cocktail or two and then head for a nearby restaurant for dinner once the sun starts to drop. Learn more over here.
