One afternoon. Six bars. Endless excuses to order just one more.
Newtown and Erskineville are getting a spirited makeover this March as the much-loved Urban Cocktail Trail returns, transforming the Inner West into a roaming, self-guided cocktail playground on Saturday 21st March. Equal parts bar hop and neighbourhood love letter, the trail invites Sydneysiders to move at their own pace, following a curated map through some of the area’s most iconic watering holes.
With a ticket in hand, guests can sip their way through exclusive signature cocktails, each one designed specifically for the day by the bartenders behind the bar. Expect zesty, boozy, refreshing and unexpected pours, alongside a lively local atmosphere that encourages chatting to bartenders, lingering longer than planned and discovering a new favourite haunt along the way. It’s relaxed, social and unapologetically fun.
